Mycroft Inquisitor

Mycroft Inquisitor, a three-issue miniseries from French publisher Soleil (1995–1998), follows a detective of the same name in a dark, alternate-history Europe where the Spanish Inquisition still holds power. The series is best known for the moody, detailed artwork of its creator, Jean-Pierre Pécau, whose atmospheric panels evoke a grim, supernatural-tinged 16th century. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive entry in Soleil's early catalog, showcasing the publisher's penchant for blending historical conspiracy with occult horror.
