Flammender Speer

In the late 1970s, Bastei Verlag brought the German-language series Flammender Speer to life, a 26-issue comic run that follows the adventures of a prehistoric warrior. The series is most associated with the writing of French comics veteran Roger Lécureux, whose scripts were brought to vivid visuals by a rotating team of artists including Norma, Norbert Morandière, and Ertugrul Edirne. A distinctive entry in the European sword-and-sorcery tradition, it offers a raw, action-packed glimpse into the genre's popularity on the continent during this era.
