About the series
In Les Démons d’Armoises (2012–2016), Soleil presents a compact, three-issue historical horror series rooted in a real 17th-century French scandal. The story centers on the infamous “possessed nuns” of the Armoises convent, blending occult intrigue with period courtroom drama. Most associated with writer Fabien Vehlmann and artist Frédéric Peynet, the series stands out for its atmospheric, meticulously researched take on a lesser-known chapter of witch‑hunt history. It matters as a taut, self-contained example of how European graphic novels can transform archival mysteries into gripping, supernatural fiction.
