About the series
A 2005 revival of the classic European espionage series, this five-issue arc from Alias brings back writer Jean Van Hamme and artist William Vance to continue the amnesiac assassin's hunt for his identity. Picking up threads from the original run, it delivers a taut, globe-trotting conspiracy thriller marked by Vance's clean, cinematic linework and Van Hamme's signature twists. This series matters as a focused, late-era chapter that reaffirms the duo's mastery of the genre.
