About the series
In this haunting six-issue fantasy series from Delcourt, Mathieu Gallié and Guillaume Sorel craft a darkly poetic tale set in 19th-century England, where the titular Algernon Woodcock, a young boy with a mysterious connection to the supernatural, navigates a world of folklore, loss, and eerie encounters. Running from 2002 to 2011, the series is celebrated for Sorel's lush, atmospheric watercolor illustrations and Gallié's intricate, melancholic storytelling, blending Victorian-era gothic with Celtic myth. A standout in French bande dessinée, it remains a quietly influential work for its immersive world-building and emotional depth.
