The Black Moon Chronicles

The Black Moon Chronicles  or Chronicles of the Dark Moon(French: Chroniques de la Lune Noire) is an epic dark fantasy French comic series. Written by François Marcela-Froideval, the Black Moon Chronicles is an epic story offset by liberal doses of irreverent humour and the use of colloquial modern French over the archaic language usually found in such stories.

The series first episode was published in the late 80s. Following its long-lasting success in France, spin-off series were created to give more details on the background of some key characters. Episode 5 was the last volume drawn by Olivier Ledroit, who was replaced by Cyril Pontet for the rest of the series. Ledroit was still kept on drawing the remaining album covers. The 14th and final album of the series was released on 21 November 2008.

The Black Moon Arcana

Of all the terrifying warlords to wreak destruction across the empire, few can match the savagery of Ghorghor Bey. His name alone can cause even the bravest of soldiers to tremble in their boots, and noble lords and ladies throughout the land pray that he never comes knocking at their castle doors in search of gold, booze, and maidens. But few know the tragic story behind this fearsome warrior's rise to power. From his harrowing childhood to his first love(s), his devastating heartbreaks and crushing victories, read on and discover how a naive young half-ogre would go on to become Ghorghor the Terrible. Script by François Froideval - Art by Olivier Ledroit.

Sha

A witch, tortured in the Middle Ages, returns today to avenge the demons who tormented her in the past. It's good, and beautifully drawn.

Requiem Chevalier Vampire

Requiem or Requiem Chevalier Vampire (French for Requiem Vampire Knight) is a Franco-British comic, published by Nickel Editions. It is translated in English and published by Heavy Metal in the USA. It is also translated in German and published in Germany by Kult Editions as Requiem Der Vampirritter. The story is written by Pat Mills (best known for his work on Sláine, Charley's War and ABC Warriors) and the pictures are drawn by Olivier Ledroit (early volumes of the Black Moon Chronicles). 
The comic is characterised by its extreme violence and each issue is more daring and is darker than the previous one, sadomasochism is well common in this comic and there are several scenes of violent sex. There is a lot of cynical humor too. About one edition is released a year, a total of 12 issues is expected. Because of the financial weaknesses of Nickel issues had to be released every 8 months at first; with Requiem's successes more time is given to the artists to work. For Mature Readers.
