Leonardo

In the early 1980s, German publisher Carlsen Comics launched Leonardo, a five-issue comic series that blended historical adventure with a touch of the fantastic. The series followed the exploits of its titular hero, a Renaissance-era figure navigating intrigue and danger, with a tone that balanced swashbuckling action and period detail. While not a household name internationally, Leonardo stands as a noteworthy example of Carlsen's foray into original European comic storytelling during the decade.
