Jean le Long

A short-lived but visually striking two-issue miniseries from the French publisher Le Vaisseau d'Argent, Jean le Long (1990–1991) is a moody, medieval fantasy that follows its titular, lanky hero through a strange and perilous world. The series is best remembered for the atmospheric, detailed artwork of its primary artist, whose work evokes a gritty, folkloric European sensibility. Though it only ran for two issues, it remains a cult curiosity for fans of early-90s French bande dessinée, showcasing the publisher's willingness to experiment with unconventional storytelling and design.
