Xoco

In the late 1990s, French publisher Vents d'Ouest released this four-issue series from writer Mosdi and artist Ledroit, a dark fantasy tale steeped in Aztec mythology. Xoco follows a young woman navigating a world of gods, sacrifice, and colonial-era conflict, its lush, detailed artwork complementing a dense narrative of power and identity. While a short run, it stands as a distinctive example of European comics' engagement with pre-Columbian lore, showcasing the creative partnership between Mosdi and Ledroit.
