Ramiro

In the late 1970s, Dargaud launched Ramiro, a nine-issue historical adventure series that brought the talents of writer Jacques Stoquart and artist William Vance to the forefront. Set in a richly detailed past, the comic follows a lone protagonist through perilous exploits, with Vance’s dynamic, cinematic artwork and Stoquart’s tight plotting defining its gritty, swashbuckling tone. Though brief, the series stands as a notable European collaboration, showcasing the mature storytelling and lush illustration that marked the era’s Franco-Belgian comics.
