Lagardère

Published by Arédit-Artima from 1967 to 1968, Lagardère is a French comic series that ran for eight issues, adapting the swashbuckling adventures of the legendary character from Paul Féval's classic novel Le Bossu. The series is most associated with artist and writer Jean-Marie Pélaprat, who brought the dashing hero's sword fights and romantic intrigues to life in a lively, period-inspired style. A concise but spirited entry in French adventure comics, Lagardère captures the charm of its literary source material for a new generation of readers.
