Marvel Mini Monster: Les Fugitifs

In 2004, Panini France brought Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's celebrated Marvel series to French readers with Marvel Mini Monster: Les Fugitifs, a three-issue translation of the original Runaways story. Vaughan and Alphona introduced a fresh, teen-driven premise: six children discover their parents are supervillains and flee to forge their own path. Translator Laurence Belingard helped preserve the series' sharp dialogue and emotional depth for a new audience. This compact edition matters as an early, influential entry in the modern young-adult superhero genre.
