About the series
In this Dutch-language historical epic from Daedalus, writer Jean-Claude Bartoll and Frank Vanzeer team with artist Eon to reimagine the reign of Charlemagne, casting the Frankish king as a barbarian emperor navigating the brutal politics of early medieval Europe. Launched in 2022, the series blends visceral battle scenes with courtly intrigue, offering a gritty, character-driven take on a legendary figure. Though only two issues in, it stands out for its ambitious scope and meticulous period detail, bringing a lesser-explored corner of European history to the comics page.
