Conquistador

In this four-issue series from Glénat, writer Jean Dufaux and artist Philippe Xavier craft a sweeping historical adventure set during the Spanish conquest of the Americas. The story follows the brutal collision of European ambition and indigenous civilizations, told through the eyes of a conquistador whose loyalties are tested by the violence and greed of his own expedition. Xavier’s dynamic, detailed art brings the era’s landscapes and conflicts to vivid life, while Dufaux’s script balances epic action with a somber reflection on colonialism’s cost. Though brief, Conquistador stands as a taut, visually striking miniseries that distills a complex historical moment into a personal, morally charged narrative.
