About the series
François Bourgeon’s Les Compagnons du crépuscule is a three-part medieval fantasy saga published by Casterman from 1984 to 1990. Set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War, it follows a small group of outcasts—a knight, a woman fleeing her past, and a mysterious child—as they navigate a world of superstition, political intrigue, and encroaching darkness. Bourgeon wrote and illustrated all four issues, crafting a richly detailed, historically grounded narrative that blends adventure with a haunting, folkloric atmosphere. The series is a landmark of French bande dessinée, showcasing Bourgeon’s meticulous artistry and his talent for weaving personal drama into sweeping historical events.
