Keizerin Charlotte

In this alternate-history saga from Ballon Media, writer Fabien Nury and artist Matthieu Bonhomme imagine a world where Charlotte of Belgium escapes her tragic fate to become a ruthless, power-hungry empress. Launched in 2019, the series reworks 19th-century politics into a dark, visually sumptuous thriller, with Bonhomme’s precise ligne claire style grounding the historical fantasy. Though only two issues have been released so far, the series stands out for its bold reimagining of a real historical figure, blending intrigue and imperial ambition.
