Les véritables aventures d'Aleksis Strogonov

Set in a whimsical, retro-futuristic vision of early 20th-century Russia, this slim, three-issue Dargaud series from the 1990s follows the improbable exploits of its titular hero. Created by writer Jean Regnaud and artist Émile Bravo, the comic blends deadpan humor with elegant, ligne claire-inspired artwork. Though brief, it stands as a charming, cult oddity from the Franco-Belgian tradition, showcasing Bravo’s distinctive visual storytelling before his later fame.
