L'Histoire secrète #33

Volume 33 of Delcourt's long-running L'Histoire Secrète series arrives with a cover that immediately signals something momentous — a robed, turbaned figure stands with arms outstretched beneath a blazing comet-streaked night sky, while two cloaked figures kneel before a swaddled infant below. Subtitled Messie Blanc, this 2016 entry from Pécau, Kordey, and Desko weaves the series' signature blend of hidden history and esoteric mystery around one of civilization's most resonant narratives. The painted imagery is quietly arresting, balancing reverence and intrigue in equal measure.
