Alley Oop

Alley Oop (1980–present, Glénat) is a French comic series that revives the classic caveman character created by V.T. Hamlin, transplanting him into a new, ongoing adventure line. Though the series began with a single issue in 1980, it has continued episodically, with its most prominent talent being writer/artist Jean-Marc Lainé, who has helmed the series since the early 2000s. The series matters as a European reinterpretation of a beloved American newspaper strip, offering a fresh, whimsical take on prehistoric life and time travel that honors the original's spirit while expanding its lore for a new audience.
