L'Epée Noire du Pentaskel

In this early-2000s French fantasy series from Albin Michel, three issues unfold the saga of a mysterious black sword and the Pentaskel, a five-pointed symbol of power. Scripted primarily by Claude Plumail and Serge Pradier, with Jean-François Martinez’s artwork bringing the dark, medieval-inspired world to life, the story explores themes of destiny and ancient conflict. Though brief, it offers a compact, atmospheric take on the heroic fantasy genre, notable for its focused creative team and European comic tradition.
