About the series
In this two-issue series from Daedalus (2022–present), writers Jean-Claude Bartoll and Frank Vanzeer reimagine the rise of Charlemagne, blending historical epic with a modern comic sensibility. Illustrated by Eon, Karolus Magnus - De barbarenkeizer explores the Frankish king's transformation from tribal warlord into the first Holy Roman Emperor, framing his legacy through the lens of barbarian ambition and imperial destiny. A concise, visually striking take on a foundational European figure, it matters as a fresh European-perspective entry in the historical comic genre.
