The Black Moon Chronicles ( 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 first cycle was released on 21 November 2008.
Associates of Wismerhill (more developed in the spin-off series Black Moon Arcanas):
Each album tells the story of one of the key characters in the main series. The story is by Froideval but each tome has a different artist.
Spin-off dedicated to the mysterious Ultimate Mage helping the hero of the Black Moon Chronicles, by Froideval and Fabrice Druet.
The saga is also the subject of a miniature game [1] and a RTS videogame, [2] both of the same name. A massive online role playing game, Black Moon Chronicles - Winds of War, was cancelled before finishing production. [3] The Beta game testing client is available for free on Fileplanet. [4]
In January 2007 the Company AmalGame-Online Inc. restarted the development of Black Moon Chronicles - Winds of War. [5] The open beta started at the end of February 2008 and the game was officially launched on May 14. [6]
In March 2012 Amando Blasco from Bruma Studios acquired Black Moon Chronicles - Winds of War from Amalgame-Online, restarting the development of the game and opening a public beta server. [7]
