About the series
In Le Jeu de Pourpre (1993–1998), a four-issue series from Glénat, writer Makyo and artist Bruno Rocco craft a taut, intimate thriller set against the opulent yet treacherous backdrop of a high-stakes card game. The story follows a mysterious gambler whose calculated moves at the table conceal a deeper, personal vendetta, with Rocco’s moody, expressive linework capturing every tense glance and hidden card. This compact run stands as a sharp example of 1990s French bande dessinée, where psychological drama and elegant visuals intertwine without sprawling into epic length.
