If, like me, you are a fan of Kaamelott, you know how this series is much more than a simple comedy. With cult dialogues, brilliant writing and memorable characters, Alexandre Astier has created a unique universe. But did you know that Kaamelott continues to extend well beyond the screen with high-quality comic books? In this article, I invite you to discover the world of BD Kaamelott, a rich and creative adaptation of the adventures of the Round Table.
Sommaire
What does Kaamelott represent in comics?
THE BD Kaamelott are not simple extensions of the television series. They offer a new perspective on the universe of Arthur, Léodagan, Perceval and others, while retaining this absurd and intelligent humor which made Kaamelott successful. Each volume tells a new story, adapted or inspired by moments from the series, but with a visual depth that gives another dimension to the story.
In addition, drawings play a crucial role: they enrich the universe with visual details and memorable expressions. The quality of the artistic work produced in each volume is impressive, perfect for fans who would like to deepen the Kaamelott experience.
Examples of essential volumes
- Kaamelott Volume 5: “The Fair Straight” – This volume explores the strategic aspect of Arthur’s royal intrigues, with just the right amount of absurdity for a good laugh.
- Kaamelott BD Volume 11 (coming soon) – According to recent rumors, we could expect a release dense with revelations. The fans are waiting, me first!
These works not only appeal to die-hard fans of the series, but also allow comic book fans, even without knowing Kaamelott, to enjoy a funny, dark and unique universe.
Why dive into Kaamelott comics?
1. A unique immersion in the universe
Kaamelott comics allow you to explore subplots that have not always had time to be developed in the series. For example, you will learn more about characters like Yvain, Léodagan or even the mythical King Lot.
2. A great addition to the series
Where the series plays on the television format by mixing humor and light drama, the comics add visual and narrative layers that enrich the experience. The colors, the details of the costumes and even the landscapes complete your vision of Kaamelott.
3. A way to relive the cult atmosphere
Subtle humor, legendary lines and absurd plots are present in each volume. We even find mythical phrases like the famous “We have a lot” or even the famous “It’s not wrong”, which take on a completely different flavor in the illustrated version.
As a hardcore fan, I loved the moment where Percival and Karadoc discuss their famous “secret boot strategy” in one of the volumes. The comic strip here captures all the essence of the comic duo.
Where to find Kaamelott comics?
THE BD Kaamelott are available in all good bookstores and in certain specialist outlets such as Kaamelott Stores. For collectors, you can even find limited editions with exclusive artwork or elegant covers inspired by legendary Kaamelott posters.

My opinion on the BD Kaamelott experience
As you will have understood, I am passionate about the Kaamelott universe. These comics offer a pleasure different from that of the series, but just as captivating. The balance between humor and intrigue is perfectly mastered, and I highly recommend that you discover them if you have not already done so.
As a reader, you are immersed in a well-thought-out, endearing and wacky universe, which is constantly renewed. My only regret? Not having the next volume in my hands yet. Come on, all that remains is to wait while rediscovering the previous volumes.
