About the series
Jean-Michel Charlier’s long-running aviation saga for Dargaud, Tanguy et Laverdure (1961–1973), follows the high-flying adventures of two French Air Force pilots across 18 issues. With a rotating art team that included Jijé, Albert Uderzo, and Victor Hubinon, the series combined technical authenticity with swashbuckling camaraderie, becoming a benchmark for European adventure comics. Its enduring appeal lies in its grounded, character-driven take on military aviation during the Cold War era.
