About the series
In the mid-2000s, Delcourt published Les Ames d'Hélios, a four-issue science fiction series that blends mythic scale with intimate character drama. The story unfolds on a distant, sun-scorched world where the last remnants of humanity are locked in a struggle for survival, their fate intertwined with a mysterious force called Hélios. Created by writer and artist collaborators who brought a painterly, atmospheric style to the project, the series stands out for its philosophical exploration of identity and sacrifice within a stark, beautifully rendered alien landscape. Though brief, it remains a distinctive entry in Delcourt's catalog of European SF comics, admired for its ambitious world-building and emotional depth.
