Die Asche der Katharer

In this historical thriller spanning ten issues from 1997 to 2008, Arboris Publishing explores the brutal Albigensian Crusade through the lens of the Cathar heresy. Writer-artist Philippe Jarbinet, joined by co-writers Helmut Mennicken and Klaus Jöken, crafts a grim narrative of persecution and secret knowledge set against medieval France's religious upheaval. The series stands as a notable European entry in the genre, blending meticulous period detail with a conspiracy-driven plot.
