Lone Sloane

In the early 1970s, French publisher Dargaud launched the cosmic saga of Lone Sloane, a landmark series in European science fiction comics. Spanning just three issues from 1972 to 1984, this visually stunning creation is most closely associated with the visionary artist Philippe Druillet, whose psychedelic, baroque style defined the series. The story follows a lone space adventurer navigating a universe of godlike entities and surreal, sprawling architectures. Lone Sloane remains a touchstone for its radical, avant-garde approach to comic book art and storytelling, influencing generations of creators.
