Orfani: Sam

In 2017, Sergio Bonelli Editore launched Orfani: Sam, a six-issue miniseries that expands the publisher's space opera universe. Written by Roberto Recchioni and drawn by Emiliano Mammucari, the story focuses on Sam, a genetically engineered orphan soldier navigating a brutal interstellar war. The series deepens the gritty, humanistic sci-fi world of the Orfani saga, which matters for its unflinching character-driven take on conflict and survival in a Bonelli tradition of adult-oriented comics.
