Résumé :

Before he ruled Rome, Julius Caesar conquered Gaul.

Based on Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, Conquest: Julius Caesar's Gallic War brings one of history's most famous military campaigns to life as a full-color graphic novel.

From the march of the Roman legions to the rise of Vercingetorix and the Gallic resistance, this sweeping historical adaptation follows the battles, ambition, and violence that helped turn Caesar into a legend.

Painted with cinematic force and rich historical detail, Conquest is a vivid entry point for readers of Roman history, military history, ancient warfare, and historical graphic novels.

Biographie:
Graduate of the Sorbonne (University Paris I) in medieval history and art history, Tarek launched Paris Tonkar in 1991, the first art book dedicated entirely to urban street art in Paris, which is still considered an important reference for urban art lovers. Since 1999 Tarek has written more than sixty graphic novels with various publishers. His work has won several awards including the Saint-Michel Award for Best Screenplay for his graphic novel Sir Arthur Benton in 2007. Although his time is often balanced between photography, street art, and television, from writing a US TV pilot to exhibiting street art in Montreal, his interest inevitably returns to comics. He regularly attends conferences on comics, history and contemporary art, including the Cold War Symposium at Caen's Memorial in 2007, presenting his own particular insights from his experience in the industry.

Vincent Pompetti is an italian artist born in Li?ge, Belgium, originally from Pineto and Atri, in the Abruzzo region of Italy. He graduated from the St. Luc Institute of Fine Arts in 1998 with a specialization in graphic novels. Two years later he authored and published his first graphic novel with Gl?nat called Plan?te Divine, leading to a collaboration with the scenarist and graffiti specialist Tarek. From that collaboration resulted several significant works including Sir Arthur Benton, and more recently The Gallic Wars and the pirate story, The Malouin. Both artists have invested in the independent publisher Tartamudo, with Jos? Jover, and created the artist association known as Pegasus. Vincent collaborates with the Urban Art Magazine Paris Tonkar, and simultaneously develops his career in painting and illustration, having exhibited his art in Switzerland, Canada, Italy, and mainly in France....
