Zarla

Set in a fantastical medieval world, Zarla is a five-issue series from Dupuis that follows a young warrior woman on a quest for vengeance against the sorcerer who destroyed her village. Written by Jean-Louis Janssens and illustrated by Guilhem, the series blends classic fantasy adventure with a strong, determined lead and a richly detailed, slightly whimsical art style. Though a relatively short run, it stands out for its self-contained, character-driven story and its polished European bande dessinée storytelling.
