Les Corsaires d'Alcibiade

Denis-Pierre Filippi and Éric Liberge’s swashbuckling series, published by Dupuis from 2004 to 2010, follows a band of privateers navigating the treacherous waters of the ancient Mediterranean. Over five issues, the creators blend historical adventure with a touch of the fantastical, centering on the cunning Athenian general Alcibiades and his crew. Liberge’s expressive, painterly art brings the era’s sails, swords, and political intrigue to vivid life, making this a distinctive, character-driven take on classical-era piracy. It stands as a compact, visually rich saga that reimagines a legendary figure through a modern European comics lens.
