I Am Legion (French: Je suis légion) is French comic book series written by Fabien Nury, drawn by John Cassaday and published by Les Humanoïdes Associés, then in English by Humanoids Publishing/DC Comics and later by Humanoids/Devil's Due Productions.
The series was originally published by Les Humanoïdes Associés in three albums, Le faune dansant (The Dancing Faun, June 2004), Vlad (January 2006) and Les trois singes (The Three Monkeys, November 2007). This was then translated into English by Justin Kelly and was originally released in 2004 by the American-based arm of Humanoïdes, Humanoids Publishing, through their deal with DC Comics but only one prestige format book was released. The series was later split into six comic books under a new deal between Humanoids and Devil's Due Productions and finally fully released in 2009.
During World War II, Nazis seek to capture and control 10-year-old vampire named Ana. Meanwhile, Allied forces try to uncover Nazis that have infiltrated their ranks.
The history makes liberal use of references to real world (historical) characters, including among others Wilhelm Canaris (also referred to by the codename "Trinity"), Field Marshal Günther von Kluge, Winston Churchill, Vlad Tepes and Radu cel Frumos.
