L'Âge du fer

L'Âge du fer, launched in 1992 by Editions Hors Collection, is a French comic series that reimagines the Arthurian legend through a gritty, historical lens. With only a single issue published to date, it is most closely associated with writer and artist Jean-Claude Clergue, whose detailed, moody artwork grounds the myth in a plausible, iron-age setting. The series matters as an early example of the "historical fantasy" trend in European comics, blending archaeological authenticity with the familiar tales of Camelot.
