Damned Master

A five-issue miniseries from Komikku Éditions, Damned Master (2016–2018) follows a struggling magic student who accidentally unleashes a powerful, ancient curse, forcing him to seek an unlikely alliance with the very demon responsible. Written and illustrated by French creator Ulysse Malassagne, this compact fantasy-horror story balances dark humor with genuine tension as the protagonist confronts the consequences of his reckless spell. Though brief, the series stands out for its striking, moody artwork and its clever twist on the classic "deal with the devil" trope.
