Alix

Alix (2008–2015) is a nine-issue series from Apollo Comics that reimagines the classic French-Belgian adventure hero for a modern audience. The series follows the young Gallic protagonist through a blend of historical intrigue and action, with a focus on his travels across the ancient world. Most closely associated with writer and artist Jacques Martin, who originally created the character, this run expands on the long-running franchise's legacy while maintaining its signature detailed art and scholarly approach to history. It matters as a continuation of one of Europe's most enduring comic series, bridging classic ligne claire storytelling with contemporary sensibilities.
