L'Empire de Trigan

In the early 1980s, French publisher Glénat launched L'Empire de Trigan, a 12-issue series that brought a distinctly European sensibility to epic science fiction. The saga unfolds across a vast interstellar empire, blending political intrigue with grand-scale adventure. While the series is less internationally known than some contemporaries, it stands as a vivid example of the ambitious, creator-driven bande dessinée that defined the era.
