About the series
In this 2015–2017 Titan Comics miniseries, writers Serge Lehman, Fabrice Colin, and Edward Gauvin, with artist Gess, reimagine a pulp-infused 1930s Europe where superhuman "chimeras" emerge from the secret history of science and the occult. The story follows a group of extraordinary beings—including a living flame and a man with a mechanical heart—as they navigate a shadow war between rival factions vying for control of this new power. A stylish blend of retro-futurism and political intrigue, The Chimera Brigade stands out for its dense, literary approach to the superhero genre, grounded in European history and mythology rather than American comic book tropes.
