"There are moments in history which are familiar to us all, thanks to history textbooks. Then, there are moments, often more dramatic and intriguing, which get obscured by the sands of time until a writer desperate for inspiration comes along. It's a fairly common occurrence across various media and the graphic novel is no exception to it, be it Frank Miller's 300 or Warren Ellis' Crecy or Alexandro Jodorowsky's Borgia.
Alexandro Jodorowsky, director of such classics as 'Holy Mountain', 'El Topo' and 'Santa Sangre' has ventured into graphic novel territory with 'Borgia' and sure enough, the same follows, albeit much more toned down compared to his film-work. Another aspect that is signature Jodorowsky are his strange peripheral characters - this is evident even in 'Borgia', about "History's first recorded Criminal Family", the Predecessors of the Mafia - the Borgia Family.
In the first book, "Blood for the Pope", we see the first of the Borgias, Pope Calixtus III failing at his attempts at immortality and dubious transition of his nephew, Rodrigo Borgia, a cardinal of Spanish origins to Pope Alexander VI, known as the most notorious pope in all of history. He was the patriarch to a legacy teeming with adultery, incest and murder fuelled particularly by his two children, Cesare and Lucrezia, the beginnings of which we see in the second book, "The Power and the Incest".
