Epic

Epic was an ambitious eight-issue series published by Semic in 1983–1984, aiming to bring a European-style, adult-oriented comics anthology to American readers. Featuring a mix of original stories and translated works, it showcased a rotating roster of international talent, with notable contributions from artists like Philippe Druillet and writers such as Pierre Christin. Though short-lived, the series stands as a bold attempt to bridge the gap between American and European comic sensibilities, offering a mature, visually striking alternative to mainstream fare of the era.
