L'ombre de Jaïpur

A sweeping historical epic set against the backdrop of 19th-century India, L'ombre de Jaïpur follows a French officer entangled in the political and mystical intrigues of the Jaipur court. Published by Les Humanoïdes Associés since 1993, this single-issue comic is a standalone work by writer and artist André Juillard, known for his meticulous research and lush, detailed watercolors. Though brief, it stands as a vivid, self-contained exploration of colonialism, loyalty, and the shadowy power struggles of the Rajput kingdom.
