Raptors (Rapaces)
Written by Jean Dufaux. Art by Enrico Marini.
A vampire story trades dusty castles for violent modern intrigue.
Overview
Jean Dufaux and Enrico Marini launched Rapaces in 1998. Its secretive predators and human adversaries move through a contemporary crime world where hidden identities are as dangerous as open violence.
Why It Matters
The work’s appeal is the collision of supernatural lineage with thriller pacing. Its monsters are embedded in modern networks rather than isolated in folklore.
Genre & Themes
Vampire horror and action noir give the story a dark, adult tone.
Art & Visual Identity
Marini uses elegant bodies, saturated darkness and fast confrontations to make glamour and danger inseparable.
