Bathory - La comtesse maudite

In 2022, French publisher Steinkis launched Bathory - La comtesse maudite, a single-issue comic that plunges into the dark legend of Elizabeth Báthory, the infamous 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman accused of serial murder. The series distills her chilling, blood-soaked story into a standalone graphic novel, crafted by a creative team that brings historical horror to vivid life. It matters as a modern European take on a macabre historical figure, offering a compact, atmospheric entry into the tradition of true-crime-inspired comics.
