Ian Kaledine

Jean-Luc Vernal and artist Ferry brought the sci-fi series Ian Kaledine to life for Le Lombard from 1983 to 1992, spanning a compact ten-issue run. The story follows its titular hero through a richly imagined future, blending adventure with a distinctly European comic sensibility. While it may not be as widely known as some contemporaries, the series stands as a solid example of mid-80s Franco-Belgian genre storytelling, showcasing Ferry's detailed linework and Vernal's knack for building a compelling, self-contained world.
