Raspoutine le Patriote

In Raspoutine le Patriote (2022–2024, Delcourt), this six-issue series reimagines the legendary Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin not as a mad monk, but as a fierce patriot and secret defender of the tsarist empire. Written and drawn by a French creative team, the story blends historical intrigue with supernatural elements, casting Rasputin as a tragic hero whose influence over the Romanovs was a desperate act of loyalty. It matters for its bold, revisionist take on one of history’s most vilified figures, offering a fresh perspective within the European comics tradition.
