About the series
The Radisson series, published by Glénat from 2009 to 2012, is a concise four-issue historical comic that dramatizes the life of the 17th-century French explorer and fur trader Pierre-Esprit Radisson. Blending adventure with colonial politics, the series charts his early capture by the Iroquois, his later alliances with English interests, and the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company. It stands as a vivid, understated example of European bande dessinée tackling North American history.
