Alix

In the early 1980s, Portuguese publisher Edições 70 brought Jacques Martin's classic historical adventure series Alix to a new audience, reprinting the beloved tales of the young Gallic hero navigating the intrigues of ancient Rome. Spanning 19 issues from 1981 to 1990, this run collected some of the most celebrated stories from the long-running French-Belgian series, introducing Portuguese readers to Martin's meticulously researched art and sweeping narratives. A cornerstone of European bande dessinée, Alix stands as a masterful blend of adventure and historical authenticity, and this edition helped cement its legacy beyond its original Franco-Belgian market.
