About the series
A sweeping family saga chronicling the fortunes of the Steenfort dynasty, Les Maîtres de l'orge (published by Glénat) spans generations of brewers in Alsace. This integral edition collects the complete epic, a cornerstone of European graphic literature told across two volumes. The series is most associated with writer Jean Van Hamme and artist Francis Vallès, whose meticulous historical detail and dramatic narrative give it enduring weight. Its significance lies in its ambitious, novelistic scope, tracing the rise and fall of a family business against the backdrop of two world wars and social change.
