Bob Morane

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, French publisher Dargaud launched a 14-issue comic series adapting the adventures of globetrotting hero Bob Morane, a character originally created for novels. The series is most closely associated with the artistic talents of Gérald Forton, whose dynamic illustrations brought the spy-fi and jungle exploits to life. This run matters as a key European comics adaptation, capturing the pulp spirit of its source material for a new generation of readers.
