L'Homme du Nil

L'Homme du Nil, launched by Dargaud in 1978 and continuing to the present day, is a single-issue French comic series that follows the ancient Egyptian adventures of its titular hero. Created by writer and artist Jacques Martin, the series is a spin-off of his long-running historical adventure series Alix, offering a deeper dive into the world of pharaohs and pyramids. Though brief in its initial run, it matters as an extension of Martin's meticulous, historically grounded storytelling, beloved by fans of Franco-Belgian bande dessinée.
