About the series
In this haunting French miniseries from Soleil, La Légende de la Mort (2007–2011) weaves a dark, folkloric tale rooted in Brittany's legends of the Ankou, the personification of death. Across its three issues, the story follows a young man drawn into a spectral world where the boundaries between the living and the dead blur, exploring themes of fate and the supernatural. The series is most associated with writer and artist Jean-Luc Istin, whose atmospheric, moody artwork and lyrical storytelling give the myth a visceral, poetic weight. It stands as a compact but memorable entry in European fantasy comics, offering a chilling meditation on mortality through a distinctly Celtic lens.
