Das dritte Testament

In this taut, four-issue German miniseries from Carlsen Comics (2002–2003), writer-artist Alex Alice, alongside co-writers Xavier Dorison and Tanja Krämling, crafts a dark historical thriller set against the backdrop of the Inquisition. The story follows a monk who uncovers a forbidden secret hidden within the Church's most sacred texts, threatening to unravel the foundations of Christian faith. With Alice's moody, atmospheric artwork lending a gothic weight to the narrative, Das dritte Testament stands as a compelling European graphic novel that explores the dangerous intersection of faith, power, and hidden knowledge.
