Donjon #1
This volume collects the first half of the opening story arc of Lewis Trondheim and Joann Sfar's acclaimed fantasy series Donjon. It introduces the eccentric inhabitants of the dungeon, including the cowardly duck Herbert, as they navigate a world of magic, monsters, and bureaucratic absurdity. This edition presents the Zenith cycle, which focuses on the early adventures of the dungeon's denizens in a lighthearted, comedic tone typical of the series' unique blend of humor and fantasy.
The first issue of Donjon, a 1998 Delcourt release, kicks off with a peculiar negotiation: a delegation of hooded creatures attempts to buy the Donjon from its reclusive Guardian, only to be turned away. When the misunderstanding escalates, Marvin, the Donjon’s warrior, takes charge—leaving Herbert de Vaucanson, a quiet employee, caught in the chaos and drawn into a chaotic pursuit of the mysterious hooded figures. Written by Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim, with art and inks by both, and colored and lettered by Trondheim, the issue’s cover by Lewis Trondheim captures the surreal tone of this whimsical, mischievous adventure.
