Roxalane

A creature of the Franco-Belgian tradition, Roxalane stepped onto the page in 1988 through the celebrated house of Les Humanoïdes Associés — the same publisher that brought the world Métal Hurlant — courtesy of the creative team of Galliano and Pavlovic. Her solo series, running into the early 1990s, marks her as a distinctive Copper Age voice in European comics, the kind of intimate, auteur-driven work that Les Humanoïdes championed so well. Rare in the catalog and tied to a specific creative vision, she's a rewarding discovery for collectors drawn to the rich, adventurous side of late-'80s bande dessinée.
