Baron Rouge

The French series Baron Rouge (2012–2015) from Zéphyr Éditions is a compact, three-issue run that reimagines the legendary World War I flying ace Manfred von Richthofen as a dieselpunk action hero. Blending historical fiction with pulp adventure, the series follows the Red Baron through an alternate timeline where aerial combat is pushed to fantastical extremes. Though short, it stands out for its lush, kinetic artwork and its focused, high-octane storytelling, offering a stylish and imaginative take on a classic figure.
