About the series
In the early 2000s, the Danish publisher Arboris brought together an international team of writers and artists—including Per Vadmand, Frank Giroud, and François Corteggiani alongside illustrators Barly Baruti, Jean-Marie Michaud, and Rachid Nawa—for Det blodrøde bibliotek, a 14-issue comic series that explores dark, literary-themed adventures. Its title translates to "The Blood-Red Library," hinting at a moody, storybook atmosphere that blends European graphic storytelling with a taste for the macabre. This series stands as a distinctive, if brief, chapter in Arboris's catalog, showcasing the publisher's commitment to sophisticated, cross-border collaboration.
