De Franken #1

Published by Arboris in 1999, this Dutch-language album launches the De Franken series with the opening chapter "De bloeddorstige," brought to life entirely by the combined storytelling talents of writers Patrick Cothias and Hans van den Boom alongside artist Bernard Dufossé, who also handles inks and colors throughout. Dufossé's cover work sets the tone for what promises to be a vivid historical adventure rooted in the world of the Franks. A compelling starting point for readers drawn to European historical comics at their most atmospheric.
