About the series
Since 1965, Casterman has chronicled the globe-trotting investigations of intrepid journalist Lefranc. Jacques Martin originated the series, with later writers like Roger Seiter and François Corteggiani continuing his adventures, while artists including Gilles Chaillet, Régric, and Christophe Alvès have defined its clean ligne claire style. Spanning over thirty-five albums, the series stands as a pillar of Franco-Belgian comics, offering classic, detail-rich mysteries that blend historical settings with modern intrigue.
