The Courtesan returns via the crazy talented Alexis Barattin, who brings the escaped Marquis devil back to 18th century Japan (love the drool laden hairsticks)! You can read more about her thoughts on the re-imagining along with checking out more of her amazing artwork on her blog below!
That is some stunning linework! Alexis did an incredible job capturing the essence of Courtesan while giving it a fresh take! Now if only I could get her to draw Zombie Chick...
I'm sorry it has taken me this long to say Thank You ;) I am a big troll on your facebook page and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my work.
The townspeople prayed for a savior...what came was the devil.
A tale of unholy faith
First seeing print in 1997, The Marquis is the comic series creation of artist/writer Guy Davis. An action/ horror series that followed the life and damnation of The Marquis Vol de Galle, his fight against the devils of Hell and his own faith and madness.
The Marquis is now being published through Dark Horse Comics, beginning with "The Marquis: Inferno" which collects the stories from both Danse Macabre and Intermezzo along with an expanded sketchbook section and full-color cover gallery. Since it's creation, The Marquis was always planned as a finite series, and now through Dark Horse the remaining storylines will be coming out as original graphic novels beginning with “The Marquis and The Midwife”, to be followed by the last two books that tell the complete story of the Marquis Vol de Galle.
In addition to the english language editions from Dark Horse, the French versions of the series have been collected into deluxe hardcover formats through Les Humanoïdes Associés along with Spanish editions through Norma Editorial.
