Shimon de Samarie

In this brief two-issue series from Les Humanoïdes Associés, writer and artist Fred Beltran explores the story of Shimon de Samarie, a figure from the time of Jesus. Blending historical and mystical elements, the comic reimagines the life of a Samaritan magus often associated with early Christian lore. Beltran’s lush painted artwork and dense narrative style give the series a distinctive, atmospheric feel. Though short, it stands as a focused, creator-driven work within the French comics tradition.
