La Brigade Chimérique

Set in a 1920s Paris haunted by the ghosts of pulp heroes and scientific marvels, La Brigade Chimérique is a six-issue miniseries from L'Atalante that reimagines the Golden Age of French science fiction. Written by Fabrice Colin and Serge Lehman, with luminous art by Stéphane Gess, the story follows a secret society of brilliant outsiders—scientists, adventurers, and mystics—who must unite against a creeping, reality-warping threat that emerges from the shadows of the Great War. This series matters as a poignant, visually stunning homage to the forgotten roots of European superheroes, blending historical tragedy with cosmic wonder.
