CRUSADE

Crusade is a Franco-Belgian comics series written by Jean Dufaux, illustrated by Philippe Xavier.

The battle took place in front of the holy city. The heat was oppressive. The sky was empty of clouds. Who could have imagined? Three people intertwine their destinies to seize power in the holy city of Hierus Alem. To face the danger posed by Ab’dul Razim and his Saracens, the Frankish Lords are forced to stand united. But only Gauthier of Flanders has understood that the real threat is the Qadj–the demon that crawls in the shadow of the Cross. By refusing the battle against the Moors, the young knight will charge alone into a much more terrifying war. In the inferno of the crusades, only those who have chosen to follow the Light of the Martyrs will survive.

PERSEPOLIS

Persepolis is an autobiographical graphical novel by Marjane Satrapi depicting her childhood up to her early adult years in Iran during and after the Islamic revolution. The title is a reference to the ancient capital of the Persian Empire, Persepolis. Newsweek ranked the book #5 on its list of the ten best fiction books of the decade.

Satrapi and comic artist Vincent Paronnaud co-directed the derived animation movie, which is also called Persepolis. Although the film emulates Satrapi's visual style of high-contrast inking, a present-day frame story is rendered in color. In the United States, Persepolis was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 2007 Academy Awards.

With the war for independence playing out across the colonies, young Seth and Mercy Abbott find their new marriage tested at every turn, as the demands of the frontlines and the home front collide.

NOAH

The graphic novel Noah makes Noah's famous quest — on orders from God, to build an enormous arc housing his family and loads of animals in order to protect themselves from an oncoming flood — almost seem like science fiction, with rocky, alien landscapes and huge, six-armed giants.
Henrichon illustrates the antagonistic tribe of Tubal-Cain, trippy wall drawings and hordes of insects among other things in Noah, and he says he was influenced by everything from 1970s European comic artists of Moebius and Bilal, "who created amazing universes," to polish painter named Zdzisław Beksiński, "a specialist at displaying desolated landscapes and architecture."
A lot of the visuals don't carry over from graphic novel to film, though they both have the same gigantic, boxy take on Noah's ark.
Compared to popular ideas of the Biblical boat, Henrichon admits that their take is "bulky and unrefined. But in some ways, "it feels more efficient. The ark didn't need to be pretty and didn't need to be shaped like a boat.

CONQUISTADOR
