Buonaparte

In this three-issue series from Daedalus (2022–2025), writer Fabienne Pigière, Rudi Miel, and Christophe Deconinck team with artist Iván Gil to explore the shadowy, fictionalized life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Rather than a straightforward historical account, the comic reimagines the emperor’s final years through a lens of intrigue and psychological depth. It matters as a concise, visually striking European graphic novel that reframes a towering historical figure in a fresh, speculative light.
