Le Grand Siècle #1
This first volume of the series 'Le Grand Siècle' introduces the character Alphonse, set against the backdrop of 17th-century France. The collection gathers the opening chapters of this historical narrative published by Delcourt, focusing on the early adventures and intrigues of its protagonist.
In 1666 France, Alphonse—a humble servant and the laughingstock of his village—finds himself thrust into a deadly secret after witnessing the murder of the knight de Beaumont and his daughter. Still reeling from drink, he risks everything to save the knight’s young son, Benoît, setting both on a perilous path they never expected. Written and illustrated by Simon Andriveau, with inks, colors, and lettering also by Andriveau, this first issue of Le Grand Siècle introduces a gripping tale of courage and survival, its stark, atmospheric art brought to life by Andriveau’s distinctive cover pencils and inks.
