Dauphin Noir

A dark fantasy-horror series from French publisher Arédit-Artima, Dauphin Noir ran for 23 issues from 1968 to 1970, blending supernatural intrigue with adventure. The magazine-sized comic is most associated with creator Jean Cézard, whose expressive artwork and eerie storytelling defined its moody, gothic atmosphere. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive artifact of late-1960s European genre comics, offering a uniquely French take on the macabre.
