De Onthoofde Arenden

Jean-Charles Kraehn and Patrice Pellerin crafted this 9-issue French series for Talent, a taut historical thriller set during the Napoleonic era. With Kraehn sharing both writing and artistic duties alongside Michel Pierret, the story follows a secret society of elite soldiers known as the "Beheaded Eagles" as they navigate a web of political intrigue and personal vendettas. The series stands out for its meticulous period detail and sharp, cinematic storytelling, cementing its place as a minor classic of early-2000s Franco-Belgian adventure comics.
