Jeanne, la mâle reine

About the series
In this three-issue series from Delcourt (2018–2020), writer and artist Chantal Montellier reimagines the life of Jeanne d’Arc as a fierce, self-determined warrior-queen, blending historical fact with speculative fiction. The series recasts the iconic French figure not as a martyr but as a monarch who rejects her fate, challenging gender and power structures with a sharp, modern sensibility. Montellier’s stark, expressive artwork and unflinching narrative make this a bold, revisionist take on a familiar legend, offering a provocative exploration of agency and legacy.
