Bohemond

Claude Verrien and André Juillard collaborated on this single-issue Semic graphic novel from 1979, a standalone medieval epic centered on the crusader prince Bohemond of Taranto. Juillard’s detailed, historically grounded artwork and Verrien’s taut scripting bring the 11th-century Norman leader’s ambition and battlefield exploits to life. Though brief, the book stands as an early showcase for the artist who would later define the ligne claire style of Les 7 vies de l’Épervier.
