About the series
A quiet, hypnotic fantasy series from the Dutch publisher Arboris, Lotusbloem (1988–2006) follows the mystical journey of its titular heroine across nine issues, blending lush, painterly art by Franz and Michel Faure with meditative scripts by Franz, François Corteggiani, and Hans van den Boom. Its unhurried, almost dreamlike storytelling and Eastern-inspired aesthetic carved a distinctive niche in European comics, making it a cult touchstone for readers seeking atmospheric, adult-oriented fantasy.
