About the series
A brisk, eight-issue French series from Glénat, S.P. Sous-Presse follows the adventures of a super-powered Parisian journalist who balances crime-fighting with the daily grind of reporting. Published from 1984 to 1987, the series is most closely associated with writer Jean-Luc Vernal and artist Jean-Claude Servais, whose clean, expressive style brought a grounded, human touch to the superhero genre. Its 16 issues matter as a distinct, European take on the costumed hero, blending journalistic intrigue with fantastical elements in a way that feels both familiar and refreshingly original.
