'''Percevan''' is a French [[comic]] drawn by [[Philippe Luguy]], and written by [[Jean Léturgie]] and [[Xavier Fauche]], first pre-published in the French prepublication magazine ''Gomme !'' in 1981. The adventures take place in a medieval world where magic plays an important part. The series is more mature and darker than one might think at first sight in view of the round design of Luguy.

== Characters ==

* '''Percevan''' : The hero. He is a knight who has traces of magic in him since "Shaarlan" entered his body.
* '''Kervin''' : A troubadour, a baladin, and Percevan's best friend. Very round, he is permanently famished.
* '''Guimly''' : little animal of the simlusnanus species.
* '''Balkis''' : Witch, after meeting Percevan she gives up black magic.
* '''Altaïs''' : Witch, sister of Balkis.
* '''Shyloc'h''' : Repulsive character and Balkis's Servant.
* '''Sharlaan''' : Wizard
* '''Mortepierre''' : Baron. Power and Wealth are the only things he desires.
* '''Polémic''' : Mortepierre's Servant.
* '''Ciensinfus''' : Evil wizard.
