Elfen

Set in a fantastical version of medieval Europe, Elfen follows the ongoing war between humans and the immortal Elves, a conflict that has raged for centuries. Launched in 2014 by Daedalus, this epic fantasy series is most associated with writers Dieter Van Tilburgh, Nicolas Jarry, and Jean-Luc Istin, whose scripts are brought to life by the distinct pencils of artists Stéphane Bileau, Gianluca Maconi, and Dimat. Spanning over 35 issues, it matters for its deep world-building and morally complex take on classic fantasy tropes, exploring the brutal cost of eternal hatred.
