Les Compagnons du Crépuscule

François Bourgeon’s Les Compagnons du Crépuscule is a fantasy trilogy from Delcourt, originally published in the 1980s and collected in this 2014 edition. Set in a mythic medieval France, it follows a knight, a mysterious woman, and a young peasant as they navigate a world of feudal intrigue, pagan magic, and encroaching darkness. Bourgeon is the sole creator, writing and illustrating every page with his signature lush, detailed linework and earthy palette. This series is a cornerstone of French bande dessinée, celebrated for its rich historical atmosphere and nuanced characters.
