OSS.117

The French secret agent OSS 117, a literary and cinematic staple, made a brief foray into comics in the early 1970s with a series from the Dutch publisher Heisterkamp and its Castrum imprint. While the run produced no issues, the project is notable for attempting to translate the suave, Cold War-era espionage of the character—originally created by author Jean Bruce—into a visual medium during the peak of the spy craze. The series stands as a curious footnote in the character's long history, reflecting the era's appetite for international intrigue on the page.
