XIII

A long-running political thriller from Dargaud Benelux, XIII (2011–present) follows the amnesiac protagonist known only as XIII, whose quest to uncover his identity leads him through a labyrinth of conspiracy, betrayal, and international intrigue. Spanning 29 issues, the series is most closely associated with writer Yves Sente and artist Iouri Jigounov, who together carry forward the tense, cinematic style that defined the franchise. Its significance lies in its sustained, high-stakes storytelling, cementing the series as a cornerstone of modern European espionage comics.
