In this two-issue series from the Dutch publisher Daedalus, Tseu Hi, de drakenvrouw reimagines the life of the formidable Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi, casting her as a mythic "dragon woman" at the turn of the 20th century. The story blends historical drama with fantastical elements, exploring her rise to power and the political turmoil of the Qing dynasty. While the run is brief, it offers a distinctive, European-perspective take on a controversial historical figure, notable for its vivid artwork and ambitious scope within a limited format.
