The Damned

In this two-issue miniseries from French publisher Akileos, The Damned (2008–2009) follows a mysterious, scarred gunslinger who wanders a supernatural Old West, where the line between the living and the dead is blurred by dark, infernal forces. Written and drawn by artist Stéphane Betbeder, the series blends gritty Western tropes with horror, as its protagonist confronts both human outlaws and otherworldly threats. Though brief, the series stands out for its atmospheric, painted artwork and its taut, moody take on the genre, offering a compact but memorable journey into a cursed frontier.
