About the series
A dark, operatic reimagining of Shakespeare's Richard III set in a fantastical 15th-century France, Le Requiem du Roi des Roses was published by Ki-oon from 2015 to 2022 across 17 issues. The series is defined by its lush, gothic artwork and its central, tragic figure—a gender-swapped Richard of Gloucester, whose ambition and deformity fuel a bloody, psychological war for the throne. Acclaimed for its mature, tragic storytelling, it reframes the classic history play through a lens of magical realism and intense emotional drama, earning a devoted following for its bold character work and haunting visual style.
