About the series
In Les Enfants d'ailleurs, a six-issue series published by Dupuis from 2007 to 2012, writer Jean-Claude Servais and artist Alain Letrouit craft a haunting rural fantasy set in the Belgian Ardennes. The story follows a group of children who discover a mysterious, otherworldly presence in the woods, blending folklore with a quiet, melancholic coming-of-age tale. Servais’s lush, detailed artwork and Letrouit’s atmospheric storytelling give the series a distinctive, painterly quality, making it a memorable entry in European comics for its gentle, eerie exploration of childhood and the unknown.
