About the series
In 2024, French publisher Soleil launched Guerres et Dragons, a four-issue miniseries that reimagines the brutality of World War I through a fantastical lens where dragons take the place of aerial warfare. This series blends historical trench warfare with high fantasy, creating a visceral alternate-history conflict. The project is anchored by the creative vision of writer and artist Jean-Charles Poupard, whose detailed, gritty artwork grounds the mythical creatures in the mud and chaos of the Western Front. It stands as a striking example of Soleil's tradition of genre-bending European comics, offering a fresh, visually arresting take on the war comic.
