Lord Minimus
Graphic Novel - History
The true story of Jeffrey Hudson, a 17th century dwarf with the appearance of an infant, but with a lived experience most will never know. Born to a poor butcher’s wife, Minimus had the lowly beginning that any good protagonist requires. Jeffrey quickly found himself in the service of the elite after becoming a local attraction, but no one could guess what highs (and lows) his peculiarities would thrust him towards. From royal court, to war, to the slave markets of Africa and everywhere in between, Jeffrey’s journeys were as varied as Odysseus himself. This is the story of a man who’s stature wielded little respect in the small-mindedness of his contemporaries, but who’s life towered nonetheless to cast a shadow over the centuries thereafter. Written by Aaron Figueroa and Illustrated by João Vicente Galvão de Lucena, Lord Minimus is a comic series that tells a story with breathtaking imagery and unimaginable intrigue.
