Alcide Citrix

Born in the pages of the legendary Belgian anthology Spirou in 1969, Alcide Citrix is a Silver Age creation of two giants of Franco-Belgian comics — Yvan Delporte and André Franquin — a pedigree that alone makes this character worth seeking out. Published by Dupuis across nearly three decades, from 1969 to 1996, Alcide Citrix carved out a modest but enduring niche in a magazine that served as a launchpad for some of Europe's most beloved strips. Their adventures place them in colorful company — sharing pages with the likes of Le Flagada, Tif, Boule, and Inspecteur Ficshusset — and their most notable appearance in Le Flagada et les pépins de la pêche gives collectors a concrete title to hunt. With only eleven catalogued appearances, Alcide Citrix is a genuine curiosity for the devoted Dupuis enthusiast — a small but real piece of a rich, storied universe.
