Borgia

Over two lushly illustrated volumes from Albin Michel, Borgia brings the infamous Renaissance dynasty to life through the combined talents of writer Alejandro Jodorowsky, co-writer Jean-Michel Boschet, and artist Milo Manara. This 2004–2006 series explores the ruthless ambition, political intrigue, and scandalous excess of the Borgia family, with Manara’s signature sensuous style lending a vivid, operatic grandeur to the historical drama. It stands as a notable European graphic novel collaboration, blending Jodorowsky’s baroque storytelling with Manara’s meticulous period detail.
