Siegfried
Dargaud · 2007–2011 · 8 issues
About the series
In the late 2000s, Dargaud published this three-issue series that reimagines the myth of Siegfried, the legendary dragon-slaying hero of Germanic and Norse saga. Written with a modern, psychologically complex sensibility, the story strips away romanticized fantasy to explore ambition, fate, and the brutal cost of power. While the artist's dynamic, expressive linework brings the ancient world to gritty life, the series stands out for its mature, revisionist take on a foundational myth—a compact but impactful work from a European publisher known for literary bande dessinée.
