Die Franken

In the late 1990s, the Dutch publisher Arboris released Die Franken, a two-issue series written by Klaus Jöken and Patrick Cothias with art by Bernard Dufossé. This historical comic explores the early medieval world of the Franks, offering a dramatic glimpse into the era's conflicts and power struggles. While brief, the series stands out for Dufossé's detailed, atmospheric visuals and the collaboration of two seasoned European comics writers. It matters as a compact, visually rich entry into European historical comics, capturing a pivotal period in European history through the graphic storytelling tradition.
