Durandal

In the early 2010s, French publisher Soleil launched Durandal, a four-issue miniseries that reimagines the legend of Roland’s unbreakable sword through a sci-fi lens. Artists John MacCambridge and Gwendal Lemercier bring a gritty, futuristic aesthetic to this self-contained story, which stands out for its ambitious blend of medieval myth and space-age conflict. Though brief, the series offers a distinctive take on heroic fantasy, showcasing Soleil’s penchant for high-concept genre work.
