Giuseppe Bergman

A creature of the late-1970s European comics renaissance, Giuseppe Bergman made his entrance in the pages of (À Suivre) in 1978 — that landmark Casterman anthology that was redefining what the bande dessinée could be — brought to life by the creative pairing of Jean-Claude Forest and Jacques Tardi. Sharing that prestigious, adventurous space with characters like Arthur Même and Adèle Blanc-Sec speaks to the rarefied company this Bronze Age figure keeps. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Giuseppe Bergman is a collector's discovery: a name tied to a genuinely exciting moment in Franco-Belgian comics history, worth seeking out for anyone who loves the art form at its most ambitious.
