Borgia

In 2025, Splitter Verlag launched Borgia, a four-issue comic series that turns a cold, historical lens on one of the Renaissance's most infamous dynasties. Best known for the work of writer Alejandro Jodorowsky and artist Milo Manara, this European graphic novel distills the family's ruthless pursuit of power—the papal machinations, political poisonings, and tangled alliances—into a stark, visually opulent narrative. It matters because it brings the creators' signature blend of baroque excess and psychological depth to a story of corruption and ambition, offering a compact yet potent dramatization of the Borgias' enduring grip on the popular imagination.
