About the series
In this two-issue French miniseries from Delcourt, Ulysse 1781 reimagines the Odyssey as a space opera set against the backdrop of the American Revolutionary War. The series follows a starship captain on a perilous journey home, blending classical myth with 18th-century naval aesthetics and futuristic technology. Most associated with writer Pierre Veys and artist Nicolas Malfin, the series offers a compact, visually inventive fusion of history, science fiction, and literary homage. Its concise run makes it a distinctive, self-contained entry in Delcourt's catalog of genre-bending European comics.
