Les Guerriers de Dieu #5

The fifth volume of Philippe Richelle and Pierre Wachs's historical series brings readers to one of France's darkest hours — the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. The cover places a composed, elegantly dressed young woman in the foreground, her expression haunted as chaos erupts behind her: torch-bearing figures pursue fleeing victims through the burning streets of a half-timbered Renaissance city. It's a striking composition that balances personal drama against collective catastrophe, and a compelling invitation into what looks like a richly researched chapter of this series from Glénat.
