The Borgias

Dark Horse’s 2014 one-shot The Borgias brings together the legendary creative team of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Milo Manara for a lush, adult-oriented take on the infamous Renaissance dynasty. Known for their provocative, visually opulent collaborations, the duo distills the family’s lust for power, betrayal, and scandal into a single, self-contained comic. While brief, the issue stands as a striking, standalone work from two masters of European comics, offering a concentrated dose of their signature baroque storytelling.
