Vathek

In 2006, Glénat launched Vathek, a single-issue comic adaptation of William Beckford's 1786 Gothic novel. The series brings the decadent, supernatural tale of the caliph Vathek's Faustian bargain to the graphic novel format, capturing the eerie opulence of the original text. While brief, this release stands as a notable French attempt to translate a classic of Orientalist horror into sequential art.
