Francis Drake

Francis Drake, launched in 2016 by BSV Hannover, is a German comic series that reimagines the legendary Elizabethan privateer as a contemporary action hero. The single issue, written and illustrated by a creative team associated with the publisher, offers a compact, high-energy adventure that updates the historical figure for modern readers. While brief in its run, the series stands out for its bold, anachronistic premise and its place in the small-press German comics landscape.
