Tuer Vélasquez

In this 2009 Glénat comic, Tuer Vélasquez launches a tense historical thriller that reimagines the artist Diego Velázquez not as a painter but as a spy entangled in the political machinations of 17th-century Spain. The series, currently consisting of a single issue, blends fact and fiction with a moody, atmospheric approach to the court of Philip IV. Though its run is brief, it stands as a curious, niche entry from the French publisher, offering a dramatic pivot from art history to cloak-and-dagger intrigue.
