Stéphane Clément

Stéphane Clément is a globe-trotting traveler created by Daniel Ceppi, whose adventures in the Franco-Belgian tradition follow his wandering journeys across the world. The series, subtitled Chroniques d'un voyageur, emphasizes atmospheric, sophisticated storytelling rooted in real-world settings.

Born into the pages of a 1977 Belgian album, Stéphane Clément is a distinctive voice in the Franco-Belgian tradition — a Bronze Age creation from Daniel Ceppi that found its home at the celebrated Les Humanoïdes Associés and the pages of (À Suivre). Subtitled chroniques d'un voyageur — chronicles of a traveler — the series wears its wandering spirit right in its name, promising the kind of globe-trotting, atmospheric storytelling that defined sophisticated European comics of the era. Across more than two decades (1977–1999), Ceppi kept this character's world alive alongside figures like Alice, crafting what feels like a quietly enduring corner of the bande dessinée landscape. For collectors drawn to elegant, literary European adventure comics with real longevity, Stéphane Clément is a name well worth seeking out.
