Urashiman - Super Durand

In the early 1980s, a young man in a black suit and helmet—known only as Urashiman—arrives in a strange city, armed with a powerful sword and a mysterious past. This 2020–2021 French miniseries from Black Box Éditions, spanning four issues, reimagines a classic Japanese manga hero for a new audience. Writer and artist duo Jean-Luc Istin and Stéphane Bileau craft a stylish, action-packed urban fantasy that blends retro sci-fi with a modern noir sensibility, making it a standout European take on a cult character.
