Conquistador

Jean Dufaux and Philippe Xavier’s Conquistador (2012–2015) is a four-issue historical drama from Glénat, set against the brutal backdrop of the Spanish conquest of the Americas. The series follows a lone conquistador navigating ambition, violence, and cultural collision in the New World, with Xavier’s vivid artwork grounding the tale in gritty, period detail. It stands as a compact but potent exploration of colonial hubris and survival, anchored by Dufaux’s signature blend of epic scope and personal tragedy.
