“The world – and thought – were expanding: new ideas, each more disturbing than the last, were circulating out of control. Their certainties, reinforced by an age-old monopoly of orthodoxy, suddenly shaken by the ever more powerful groundswells of a burgeoning humanism, the secular and regular arms joined forces once again to counter deviance in all its forms and purge the social body of these ferments by subduing those who were their most virulent sources through the most extraordinary act of faith: purification by fire.”

Inspired by true events from the early Renaissance, Project M is a graphic story in the making that exposes how a society’s prejudices and anxieties can, under extraordinary stresses and circumstances, breed true monsters.

“As they wandered like hungry specters in the uncertain landscape of the devastated glacis, they saw slowly emerge from the acrid mists a rider on an ebony horse, as beautiful and imposing as a pagan statue, and they knew that there would be no help and that their emaciated bodies were destined to soon litter this nameless place.”

“The Lord was sending them a sign terrible and magnificent to show his approval and announce to all that his divine fire would illuminate the faithful and punish their enemies in a deluge of flames, as the sun was now no longer single, but triple and the entire firmament of clouds was in flames, bathing the assembled witnesses in a miraculous glow. The time had come at last. ”

“The population, possessed by a feverish mixture of anguish and relief, poured into the streets, and indulged in complete, senseless abandon, stripping themselves naked and animated by a jig which seized the exalted bodies and distorted them in a disordered mass of demeaning positions.”

“Tales of terrifying encounters were spread from town to town, told in lowered voices so as not to frighten the children, like that of the peasant attacked by a horned beast on a deserted road one winter evening while returning from the market. The man had survived this disconcerting attack, but his ordeal had rendered him mute and those who had come to his aid were reduced to feverish conjectures, supported by the insane shape of his wounds, on the nature of the entity which had assaulted.”

“Coming from the four corners of the country, a pack of overheated cannons surrounded the besieged city and shelled it without pause. When night came, the most powerful of them, two formidable guns named “the Devil” and “the Devil’s Mother”, spewed long jets of incandescent slime into the darkness, accompanied by an obscene roar that made moan the inhabitants holed up in their beds, because each new discharge, each new impact announced that soon resistance would give way under the onslaught of these insatiable monsters and that the innocent city would be brutally taken and delivered body and soul to the ravages of the episcopal thugs.”

“Brides for one night or for a lifetime, they are as ferocious and faithful as the frightening mastiffs who guard their children, born in the straw and mud of bivouacs, and their fertile bellies, like a Europe in tumult, are relentlessly surveyed by armies of gleaming men, proud and vain like fighting cocks, who leave their seed there before going to confront each other and be mutilated in the service of princes.”
