Hawkwood - Mercenaire de la Guerre de Cent Ans

From 2016 to 2017, Bamboo Édition published Hawkwood - Mercenaire de la Guerre de Cent Ans, an eight-issue comic series that plunges readers into the brutal, mercenary world of the Hundred Years' War. The series follows the titular Hawkwood, a real-life English condottiero, as he navigates the shifting allegiances and bloody battlefields of 14th-century France and Italy. Known for its gritty historical authenticity and dynamic artwork, this Franco-Belgian series brings a lesser-known figure of medieval warfare to vivid, action-packed life. It stands out for grounding its swashbuckling adventure in meticulous period detail, offering a compelling portrait of a mercenary's life beyond the chivalric ideal.
