About the series
Nathan Fairbairn and Jason Kapalka’s Lake of Fire is a taut five-issue Image Comics series from 2016 that reimagines the Albigensian Crusade as a brutal, medieval battle against an alien invasion. With Matt Smith’s moody, visceral artwork grounding the horror in a historical setting, the series blends religious conflict with cosmic dread, offering a fresh and unsettling take on both genre and history. It stands as a compact, creator-driven work that challenges the boundaries of historical fiction and science fiction.
