About the series
A dark fantasy series from Glénat, Les Eaux de Mortelune unfolds across ten issues from 1986 to 2000, weaving a tale of mystery and survival in a world where a deadly, mystical water threatens all life. The series is best known for its haunting, atmospheric art by Philippe Adamov, whose detailed, moody illustrations bring the grim, medieval-tinged setting to life. Written by Jean-Charles Gaudin, the story follows a lone protagonist navigating a treacherous landscape, grappling with the water's sinister power and the secrets it holds. Its slow-burn, introspective narrative and striking visuals make it a cult touchstone of French fantasy comics from the late 20th century.
