Murena

Set in the brutal, opulent world of ancient Rome, Murena is a sweeping historical epic from European publisher Bookglobe that began in 2009. The series is most closely associated with writer Jean Dufaux and artist Philippe Delaby, whose lush, cinematic art brings the intrigue of Nero’s court to life. With ten issues released so far, it’s a meticulously researched saga of power, betrayal, and vengeance that stands as a modern classic of Franco-Belgian historical comics.
