Die Rote Kaiserin

In this darkly poetic European graphic novel, Jean Dufaux and Philippe Adamov craft a haunting fantasy where a mysterious red empress rules over a decaying, dreamlike world. Published by Splitter beginning in 2000, this single-issue series presents a self-contained, atmospheric tale of power, obsession, and the blurred line between reality and illusion. With Adamov’s lush, detailed artwork and Dufaux’s lyrical storytelling, Die Rote Kaiserin stands as a striking example of the sophisticated, adult-oriented bande dessinée tradition.
