De pestlijders

In De pestlijders, Éric Stoffel, Samuel Wambre, and Serge Scotto craft a tense historical drama set during Marseille’s 1720 plague outbreak, following those forced to confront the epidemic’s brutal toll. Published by Saga Uitgaven from 2020 onward, this two-issue series—with Wambre handling both writing and art—offers a compact, atmospheric look at a city under siege, driven by stark human choices. It stands as a focused, character-driven entry in European historical comics, notable for its tight creative collaboration and unflinching period detail.
