Jacques Lambert

A creature of the late 1990s Italian comics scene, Jacques Lambert made his entrance in 1997 through Zona X, the anthology series from Sergio Bonelli Editore that was one of that era's most adventurous showcases for genre storytelling. Brought to life by Federico Memola and Sergio Giardo, Jacques moves through a world populated by the likes of Frank, Christine Lambert, Romana Molinari, Aldous Morrigan, and Patrick Cameron — a cast that gives his fourteen catalogued appearances a rich, ensemble texture. He may not be the most widely known name in Bonelli's storied lineup, but for fans of late-Copper/Modern Age Italian comics, he's exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you how much rewarding material exists beyond the Anglophone mainstream.
