Vae Victis!

In the early 2000s, the German publisher Kult Editionen brought the sweeping alternate-history epic Vae Victis! to life across eleven issues. Written primarily by Simon Rocca and Manfred Merbaul, with Jean-Yves Mitton providing the consistent artwork, this series reimagines the Roman Empire's collision with a technologically advanced Native American civilization. A sprawling tale of conquest, resistance, and culture clash, it stands out for its ambitious historical revisionism and its fusion of European and American visual storytelling traditions.
