In the third part of the “Basil Basileus” comic book series, Bardas Phokas returns from exile to deal with the rebel Bardas Skleros. Through the narration of the Cappadocian scion of the Phokas clan, the events of the civil war in Asia Minor culminate in a series of epic conflicts between two of the most capable generals in the history of Byzantium. This civil war will decide Emperor Basil’s future on the Roman throne.

Apart from the two overly ambitious generals, Basil II has to focus on his political antagonists as well. After the disappearance of Ariadne and the loss of Nikephoros Ouranos, the two persons closest to him, Basil has no allies in his effort to restrict the influence of his uncle and President of the Senate, Basil Lekapenos.

While everyone’s eyes are turned to the civil war in the East, the neglected West has been left to its own fate. Thessaloniki and Larissa are both threatened by a new lord who aspires to restore the old Bulgarian empire. Is there anyone who can stop him?


“Palace intrigue, murders, civil wars, and impressive conquests comprise the most enthralling period of the Byzantine History. In the midst of all these, the lonely and enigmatic figure of Basil II stands out. The wonderful comic book of Chrysa and Spyros brings to life an intense story of the survival and political domination of a man born to become an emperor but had to fight for it more than anyone else to achieve becoming one. The story of the man who was about to bring the medieval empire of Constantinople to its apogee.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Book 3 in the Graphic Novel Series on Byzantine Emperor Basil II
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023
Verified Purchase
Spyros Theocharis and Chryssa Sakel continue their outstanding series of graphic novels recounting the life of the Byzantine emperor, Basil II. This volume concerns probably the most important rebellion against Basil, that of Bardas Skleros, who was eventually defeated by Bardas Phokas. As with most civil wars, the story has double-dealing, traitors, generals brought back to service from retirement, and scheming courtiers ready to stab anyone in the back. The dramatic story of this tumultuous era is vividly brought to life by Theocharis' writing - a remarkable accomplishment given the twists and turns of those events.

The artwork in this graphic novel is exceptional - it brings to life the fabulous palaces of Constantinople, the medieval walled cities of the empire, and the life & death battles fought for the title of Basileus, or emperor. Her colorful reimaginings of the battles of this war and the Theodosian walls is exceeded only by the beauty of her Great Palace.

Highly recommended.
