De Brokkenmakers

A long-running Belgian adventure series from Le Lombard, De Brokkenmakers (1977–1994) follows a team of troubleshooters—a kind of private crisis intervention unit—who take on high-stakes missions across the globe. Written primarily by André-Paul Duchâteau and drawn with clean, dynamic realism by Christian Denayer (with later issues by Yvan Fernandez), the series is a classic example of the post-war Franco-Belgian thriller, blending espionage, action, and a rotating cast of specialists. Its 21-issue run, spanning nearly two decades, makes it a durable, if lesser-known, gem of the Lombard catalog, prized for its consistent adventure storytelling and polished ligne claire-inspired art.
