Les Pionniers du Nouveau Monde

Set in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Les Pionniers du Nouveau Monde is a long-running French historical adventure series from Glénat, chronicling the exploration and colonization of North America. Launched in 1986 and still ongoing, the series is most closely associated with artist Jean-François Charles, whose detailed work brings the rugged frontier to life. Spanning 23 issues, it follows the intertwined fates of European settlers and Indigenous peoples, offering a sweeping, character-driven look at a formative era in the New World. Its commitment to period authenticity and serialized storytelling has made it a cornerstone of Francophone historical comics.
