(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sam Hart. Colored by Sam Hart and Flavio Costa. Lettered by Cadu Simões. This graphic novel presentation of the life of Joan of Arc begins with Joan facing death. The narrative then flashes back to her childhood and first vision through her years fighting for France until her death by burning at the stake. The art effectively uses light and shadow to dramatic effect. Published as fiction, the book lacks any notes or biographical information.
