Arkel

In the late 1980s, Dupuis published the short-lived Belgian series Arkel, a three-issue comic that blended science fiction with fantasy. While the series is often associated with its creator, writer and artist André Benn, its brief run has earned a quiet cult following among enthusiasts of European genre comics. Arkel matters as a curious footnote in Dupuis’s catalog, showcasing a distinctive visual style and a compact, self-contained narrative that stands apart from the publisher’s longer-running titles.
