About the series
From 2020 onward, Arboris has published Code Kimono, a seven-issue series that blends martial arts, espionage, and European comic storytelling. Written primarily by Jean-Yves Brouard and Hans van den Boom, with consistent artwork by Francis Nicole, the series stands out for its sleek, cinematic visual style and its focus on a female protagonist navigating a world of high-stakes intrigue. It matters as a modern, creator-driven addition to the Franco-Belgian comic tradition, offering a fresh take on action-adventure through a distinctly European lens.
