Asphodèle

In the early 2000s, Delcourt published Asphodèle, a compact four-issue series that blends mythic fantasy with dark, poetic storytelling. The series is best known for the work of writer and artist Stéphane Servain, whose lush, detailed artwork and atmospheric narrative define its haunting tone. Set in a world where ancient Greek mythology and human emotion intertwine, the story follows a young woman’s journey through grief and transformation. Though brief, Asphodèle stands out as a distinctive example of early-2000s French bande dessinée, celebrated for its visual beauty and emotional depth.
