Sandokan

A modern French graphic novel series from Casterman, Sandokan reimagines Emilio Salgari's classic 19th-century adventure novels for a contemporary audience. Launched in 2009, this single-issue project brings the legendary "Tiger of Malaysia"—a pirate prince fighting colonial oppression in the South China Sea—to a new generation of readers. With lush, cinematic artwork and a streamlined narrative, it distills the swashbuckling spirit of the original tales into a concise, visually stunning package.
