Mit Mantel und Degen

Published by Carlsen Comics in Germany from 1997 to 2013, Mit Mantel und Degen is a swashbuckling ten-issue comic series that blends historical adventure with a touch of the fantastical. Primarily written by Alain Ayroles and Harald Sachse, with Jean-Luc Masbou handling both writing and the distinctive artwork, the series stands out for its lively, cinematic storytelling and richly detailed period setting. It matters as a notable European import that brought a fresh, character-driven take on the musketeer genre to German readers.
