Le décalogue #8
The eighth volume of Frank Giroud's sweeping historical series 'Le Décalogue,' this installment follows the ongoing saga of a mysterious book that grants its possessor the power to influence the course of history. Titled 'Nahik,' this chapter continues the intricate narrative spanning centuries, with art by various illustrators as the story shifts through different eras and characters tied to the fateful manuscript.
Le décalogue #8 (2002) plunges readers into the haunted atmosphere of post-Napoleonic France, where Alexandre et Ninon Fleury seek refuge with Ninon’s brother Hector, a famed novelist living in a house heavy with secrets. As dusk falls, the estate’s silence gives way to the tormented cries of Nadal, Hector’s brother, trapped in a hidden attic and tormented by a monstrous presence that only emerges after dark. Written by Frank Giroud and illustrated by Lucien Rollin, with colors by Jean-Jacques Chagnaud, this issue builds a slow-burning dread through its oppressive setting and unspoken horrors.

1813. Alexandre et Ninon Fleury regagnent la France dans les débris de l'armée impériale. Ils trouvent refuge chez Hector, frère de Ninon et romancier fameux, qui vit dans une demeure dont chaque recoin transpire l'angoisse et le mystère. Mais le malaise diurne reste peu de chose de la terreur qui sourd lentement dès que le soleil se couche. A cet instant, les murs résonnent des cris à peine humains que lance l'ex-capitaine Nadal, frère d'Hector et de Ninon. Enfermé dans sa folie et tenu à l'écart dans une soupente isolée. C'est que chaque nuit, une hideuse entité vient troubler son repos.
