The Knights of Heliopolis

A graphic novel about Louis XVII. I have not read it so am not recommending it. But it may be of interest to some. From Comic-Watch:

The 18th century. In a monastery in the North of Spain hides the sacred temple of the Knights of Heliopolis: an assembly of immortal alchemists cut off from the world. As disciple Seventeen prepares to complete his training and integrate order, his master Fulcanelli reveals to the other knights the terrible secret of his origins – Seventeen is actually the hidden son of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette! Will the young heir claim the throne or remain in the shadows, faithful to the millennial precepts of Alchemy? (Read more.)

"Knights", secret temples, hidden knowledge...it all sounds vaguely Masonic.

Curious they decided to associate Louis XVII with all of this... but I've noted a trend to try to connect the Church or Catholic figures of the past with the esoteric / occult. For instance, the "Spanish monastery" in this case.
