Eugen Robick

Few characters carry the weight of an entire imagined civilization quite like Eugen Robick, who stepped onto the page in 1984 as part of Benoît Peeters and François Schuiten's breathtaking Les Cités obscures — one of the most architecturally and philosophically ambitious series to emerge from the Franco-Belgian Bronze Age. Published by Casterman and serialized in the legendary pages of (À Suivre), Robick inhabits a world where the built environment itself feels like a living, brooding presence. His appearances in the catalog are rare, which only deepens the mystique — this is a character for the devoted reader who understands that in Les Cités obscures, even a handful of pages can resonate like a whole lost world.
