Cinq-Mars

A single-issue historical comic from the French publisher CNBDI, Cinq-Mars (1997) adapts the story of the 17th-century French nobleman Louis de Cinq-Mars, a favorite of King Louis XIII who fell from grace in a conspiracy against Cardinal Richelieu. The series stands as a concise, standalone graphic novel entry in French bande dessinée, offering a snapshot of the era's political intrigue without extending beyond its initial release.
