Messenger: The Legend of Joan of Arc

Messenger: The Legend of Joan of Arc

Acclaimed graphic-novel creators Tony Lee and Sam Hart present a dynamic retelling of the heroic and tragic tale of Joan of Arc.

It is 1424. France and England have been fighting for more than a hundred years, and Jehanne Dâ‚¬Arc experiences her first saintly vision. Even her parents think she's deliriousâ‚¬"until her next vision allows them to save the village. From a small town to the besieged city of Orleans and on to the cathedral of Reims, Joan follows her faith and leads the French to victory after victory. But not everyone believes in the divine voices she hears. Some call her a heretic and want her burned at the stake. From the creators of Outlaw: The Legend of Robin Hood and Excalibur: The Legend of King Arthur comes a visually striking, action-packed story of a young woman facing the men who lead her country, her enemiesâ‚¬ deadly arrows, and her own fears, to become a heroine whose name would be remembered for centuries to come.
