In the sprawling conspiracy epic L'Histoire secrète, French publisher Delcourt presents a 38-issue saga that reimagines world history as a hidden war among immortal, godlike beings. Running from 2005 to 2012, the series is most associated with writer Jean-Pierre Pécau and artist Igor Kordey, who weave a centuries-spanning narrative where secret societies and ancient powers shape the destiny of humanity. Its ambitious scope and mature, historical-fantasy blend made it a standout in European comics, offering a dense, globe-trotting mythology that rewards patient readers.
