About the series
In the early 2000s, Delcourt published Le Réveil du Dieu Chien, a five-issue French comic series that blends supernatural horror with a gritty, noir-tinged mystery. The story follows a small, isolated community grappling with the awakening of an ancient, malevolent canine deity, forcing its inhabitants to confront buried secrets and primal fears. Best known for the atmospheric, shadow-drenched artwork of Jean-Philippe Bramanti and the taut storytelling of writer Christophe Bec, the series stands as a concise, visceral example of European horror comics from the era. Its tightly wound narrative and unsettling premise make it a memorable entry in Delcourt's catalog of genre fiction.
