About the series
From 2009 onward, the French science-fiction series Aquablue (published by Daedalus) continues the epic saga of a young man raised by an alien ocean-dwelling people, blending ecological themes with space opera. The series is most closely associated with writers Xmed, Régis Hautière, and Thierry Cailleteau, alongside artists Reno, Siro, and Stéphane Louis, whose lush, detailed art brings the aquatic world to life. Over its initial 10-issue run, Aquablue stands out for its thoughtful fusion of coming-of-age adventure and environmental commentary within the European comics tradition.
