Proteus

In the early 1990s, Romanian publisher Editura Ulise released Proteus, a short-lived three-issue comic series that stands as a notable early entry in post-Communist Romanian comics. The series is most associated with its creators, who helped pioneer a new wave of local comic storytelling after decades of state-controlled publishing. Though brief, Proteus matters as a snapshot of a transitional era, when Romanian artists and writers began experimenting with genre tales and serialized narratives for a newly free readership.
