Die Pioniere der neuen Welt

In the 17th century, the Charles family saga Die Pioniere der neuen Welt follows a group of French settlers as they carve out a life in the unforgiving wilds of Quebec. Published by Finix from 2008 to 2024, this eight-issue historical epic is most closely associated with the writing of Jean-François and Maryse Charles, whose detailed scripts bring the era to life. The art, primarily by Ersel and Maryse Charles, grounds the series in a vivid, textured realism that captures both the harsh beauty of the New World and the human cost of colonization.
