Keizerin Charlotte

In Keizerin Charlotte, Fabien Nury and Matthieu Bonhomme, with Mark van Steenkiste, present a starkly intimate historical drama from Standaard Uitgeverij. The series, launched in 2023, follows the isolated final days of the Mexican empress Charlotte of Belgium, exploring her descent into madness through Bonhomme’s expressive, naturalistic art. This two-issue run captures a pivotal, tragic figure with a quiet, psychological focus that sets it apart from more conventional biographical comics.
