Alix

Few characters can claim a comics legacy stretching nearly six decades, but Alix — born in the pages of Alix #1 in 1956 under the pen of Jacques Martin — has done exactly that, enduring from the mid-century through 2015 in a remarkable run published by Le Lombard. A product of the rich European comics tradition, this character inhabits a world vivid enough to sustain multiple series, including Alix Senator, and shares adventures across those pages with the recurring presence of Enak. Whether you're a devotee of Franco-Belgian comics history or simply a collector hungry for a character with genuine staying power, Alix is a name worth knowing.
