Der Sohn des Adlers

In the late 1980s, Arboris launched Der Sohn des Adlers, a German comic series that ran for eleven issues over a decade. Written primarily by Daniel Vaxelaire and Helmut Mennicken, with Michel Faure as the principal artist, the series is best known for its detailed, painterly artwork and historical adventure storytelling. It stands as a noteworthy example of European bande dessinée from the era, offering a robust, self-contained narrative that reflects the period's interest in epic, illustrated historical fiction.
