Audax

Audax, a French comics series published by Arédit-Artima from 1973 to 1981, was a 40-issue showcase of painted adventure stories, most frequently illustrated by Salvador Fabá and Ricardo Beyloc. The series is notable for its distinctive, fully painted artwork, a hallmark of the publisher's output during this era, and for providing a platform for these Spanish and Argentine artists to reach a European audience. As a long-running anthology, Audax captures a specific moment in European genre comics, where lush, cinematic painting met serialized action and exotic settings.
