Tristan

Tristan is a long-running Franco-Belgian historical adventure series from Casterman, launched in 1984 and continuing to the present across 19 issues. The series is most associated with the detailed, atmospheric artwork of Jean Pleyers and Paul Teng, paired with scripts by writers including Néjib, James Vandermeersch, and Jean-Luc Cornette. It matters as a durable, quietly respected example of the bande dessinée tradition, offering a sustained, character-driven journey through its chosen era without relying on superhero tropes.
