Arawn

In the gritty fantasy world of Arawn (2011–2015, Daedalus), a six-issue miniseries, artist Sébastien Grenier brings a stark, atmospheric vision to a story steeped in Celtic myth and dark magic. The series follows the title character, a figure drawn from the ancient Welsh god of the underworld, as he navigates a brutal landscape of betrayal and supernatural warfare. Published during Daedalus's era of ambitious genre work, Arawn stands out for Grenier's hauntingly detailed art, which grounds its mythic scope in visceral, human conflict. It matters as a compact, creator-driven exploration of folklore that prioritizes mood and character over sprawling continuity.
