In the late 1980s, Carlsen Comics published this four-issue German series, a haunting historical drama set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. The story follows the tragic romance between a noblewoman and a commoner, with lush, atmospheric art that captures both the era's opulence and its violence. Writer Yslaire and artist Balac brought a painterly, cinematic approach to the series, which remains a standout example of European graphic storytelling for its emotional depth and visual ambition.
