Le Dernier Cathare

In Le Dernier Cathare, Glénat launched a taut 2016 historical thriller set in 13th-century Occitania, where a lone survivor of the Albigensian Crusade must protect a forbidden Cathar secret from the Inquisition. The series, currently spanning four issues, weaves real religious persecution with a tense chase narrative, anchored by its French creative team's dense, atmospheric artwork. It matters as a modern European comics take on a little-known chapter of medieval heresy, treating its subject with both scholarly weight and pulp urgency.
