About the series
Set in the twilight of the medieval era, Les Tours de Bois-Maury is a sweeping, 16-issue historical saga from Glénat that follows the wandering knight Aymar de Bois-Maury across a Europe of crumbling castles and shifting loyalties. Crafted primarily by the celebrated Belgian artist and writer Hermann Huppen—often working solo or with his son Yves H.—the series is renowned for its stark, expressive ligne claire style and unflinching portrayal of chivalry's harsh realities. Spanning nearly three decades from 1984 to 2012, it stands as a cornerstone of European graphic literature, offering a deeply atmospheric and humanistic take on the medieval adventure genre.
