Khanor

Born into the Bronze Age pages of Futura #9 in 1973, Khanor is a creation of Annibale Casabianca and Edmond Fernández Ripoll — a pairing that gave Editions Lug one of its quietly enduring figures, with a publishing footprint stretching all the way to 2002. Across Futura and Planète Comics, this character navigated a vivid corner of Franco-Belgian genre comics, sharing pages with the likes of telepaths, adventurers, and icons as storied as Tex Willer and Zembla. Fourteen catalog appearances may sound modest, but one of them carries key-issue weight — the mark of a character whose debut mattered to collectors who know their Lug history. For fans of European genre comics at their most imaginative, Khanor is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through the Bronze Age so rewarding.
