Section R

A short-lived but distinctive French sci-fi series from Éditions Horus, Section R ran for just four issues in 1979–1980. It follows an elite counter-terrorist unit navigating a near-future landscape of political intrigue and high-stakes action. The series is primarily associated with writer and artist Jean-Pierre Gourmelen, whose detailed, atmospheric style gave the book a gritty, cinematic feel. Though brief, Section R is a notable example of late-1970s French genre comics, blending espionage thrills with the era's growing interest in dystopian futures.
