Sauvage

Yann and Félix Meynet’s Sauvage, launched in 2013 by Casterman, is a five-issue series that blends historical adventure with a touch of the fantastic. Set in the untamed wilderness of 18th-century North America, it follows the exploits of a French trapper and his encounters with both the natural world and the encroaching forces of civilization. Meynet’s lush, detailed artwork brings the era’s dense forests and rugged landscapes to life, while Yann’s script weaves a tale of survival, loyalty, and the clash of cultures. A compact but evocative work, it stands as a vivid example of modern European historical comics.
