Iznogoedh

A darkly humorous fantasy saga from the late 1970s, Iznogoedh is a three-issue series from Dargaud Benelux (later Le Lombard) that follows a grouchy, barbarian-like antihero through a series of absurd and violent misadventures. Created by writer Jacques Stoquart and artist William Vance, the comic stands out for its cynical tone and detailed, expressive artwork, offering a satirical take on the sword-and-sorcery genre. Though brief, it remains a cult oddity in European comics, showcasing Vance’s dynamic storytelling before his more famous work on XIII.
