Tom-X

In the aftermath of World War II, the French publisher Éditions du siècle launched Tom-X, a 35-issue series that ran from 1947 to 1948. This post-war comic blended adventure and science fiction, featuring a hero whose exploits captured the imagination of readers during a period of cultural rebuilding. While the series was relatively brief, it stands as a notable example of the energetic, pulpy European comics of the late 1940s, reflecting the era's fascination with masked vigilantes and futuristic gadgetry. Though its creators are less widely remembered today, Tom-X remains a curious artifact for fans of vintage French bande dessinée.
