About the series
In Les Pharaons d'Alexandrie (2021–present, Glénat), this single-issue comic launches a series that explores the intersection of ancient Egyptian royalty and the Hellenistic world of Alexandria. The story is most closely associated with writer and artist Jean-Pierre Pécau, who crafts a historical fantasia blending pharaonic lore with the city's famed library and lighthouse. As a Glénat publication, it fits within the publisher's tradition of ambitious, visually rich European historical comics. Its significance lies in its fresh, imaginative take on a rarely combined setting—the Ptolemaic era's fusion of Greek and Egyptian cultures.
