Lancelot

From 2011 to 2014, Splitter Verlag presented this four-issue comic series reimagining the Arthurian legend through a dark, gritty lens. Written primarily by Jean-Luc Istin, Olivier Peru, and Rossi Schreiber, with art by Alexe, the series strips away chivalric romance to explore a brutal, war-torn Camelot. It matters as a distinctive European take on the myth, emphasizing visceral conflict and moral ambiguity over traditional heroism.
