About the series
From 1994, Defiant Comics’ Charlemagne ran for six issues, a medieval fantasy series most frequently written by D. G. Chichester and Jim Shooter, with Adam Pollina as a key writer and artist. The story follows a young woman who discovers she is the reincarnation of the legendary emperor Charlemagne, wielding his mystical sword Joyeuse in a modern-day battle against ancient evil. With art by Pollina, Anthony Castrillo, and Tim Eldred, the series stands as a distinctive, short-lived entry in Defiant’s lineup, blending historical myth with superhero tropes.
