Frank Universal

Frank Universal burst onto the Modern Age scene in 2001, brought to life by the creative trio of Antonio Serra, Michele Medda, and Germano Bonazzi in the pages of Semic S.A.'s Fantask. Though the catalog captures only a handful of appearances — spread across Fantask and Strangers — he moves in genuinely intriguing company, sharing adventures with the likes of Homicron, Mister Song, Ted White, Rita Tower, and Sally Swift. A rare find for collectors with a taste for early 2000s European comics, Frank Universal is one of those compact, curious discoveries that rewards the dedicated digger.
