Malefosse der Söldner

In the late 1980s, Reiner-Feest-Verlag published this five-issue German comic series set during the brutal religious wars of 16th-century France. Scripted by Daniel Bardet and Bernd Leibowitz with François Dermaut on art, Malefosse der Söldner follows a mercenary's grim path through a world of shifting allegiances and battlefield violence. It stands as a notable European historical-war comic, blending Dermaut's detailed, atmospheric linework with Bardet's grounded storytelling.
