Marlysa

In the late 1990s, French publisher Soleil launched Marlysa, a fantasy series that follows a resourceful young heroine through a richly imagined medieval world. Written primarily by Jean-Charles Gaudin and Didier Crisse, with consistent artwork by Jean-Pierre Danard, the series has unfolded over twenty issues, blending adventure and magic with a strong central character. It stands as a notable entry in the European bande dessinée tradition, offering a long-running, creator-driven saga.
