Les incontournables de la littérature en BD #[22]

Part of Glénat's "Les incontournables de la littérature en BD" series, this 2010 adaptation brings Henryk Sienkiewicz's celebrated novel Quo Vadis? to the comics page. The cover sets a striking and tense scene: a young woman in white robes lies vulnerable on the sand of what appears to be a Roman arena, a massive black bull looming over her, a fallen helmet nearby hinting at the brutal spectacle of ancient Rome. It's a powerful, painterly image that captures the raw drama at the heart of Sienkiewicz's story of faith and persecution under the empire.
