About the series
Since 2022, Daedalus has published Legio Patria Nostra, a three-issue series uniting writers Jean-André Yerlès, Sophro, and Melina Pasanikolakis with artist Marc-Antoine Boidin. The comic brings a contemporary, grounded lens to the myth of the Roman legion, focusing on the soldiers' daily lives and the harsh realities of empire. It matters for its gritty, character-driven take on ancient history, offering a thoughtful alternative to more fantastical sword-and-sandal tales.
