Rahan

André Chéret’s primal, dynamic artwork defined this French series from Éditions Vaillant, following a lone Cro-Magnon hero through a prehistoric world of savage beasts and mysterious tribes. Across 36 issues published from 1978 to 1984, Rahan carved out a distinctive place in European comics with its blend of survival adventure and quiet, humanistic wisdom. The series remains a landmark of French bande dessinée for its raw, atmospheric storytelling and Chéret’s iconic, muscular visuals.
