Alix Senator

Since 2013, Splitter Verlag's Alix Senator has reimagined the classic historical-adventure hero as a wily older statesman in Ancient Rome, navigating political intrigue alongside his adopted son. Written primarily by Valérie Mangin and Tanja Krämling, with Thierry Démarez providing the lush, period-detailed art, the series deepens the world of the original Alix by focusing on mature, conspiracy-driven plots. Its fifteen-issue run matters as a thoughtful, long-form expansion of a beloved European comics property, shifting from youthful exploration to a grittier, more cynical take on power and legacy.
