Gadel le fou

In this short-lived two-issue series from 1993–1994, French publisher Vents d'Ouest introduced the enigmatic Gadel le fou, a character whose madness and cunning drive a dark, medieval fantasy narrative. The series is notable for its striking painted artwork and the creative collaboration between writer Jean-Luc Vernal and artist René Follet, bringing a brooding, atmospheric tone to the story. Though brief, Gadel le fou stands as a distinctive example of early-90s European graphic storytelling, showcasing Follet's lush, detailed visuals in a compact, self-contained run.
