Vasco

Vasco (1997–2011, Kult Editionen) follows the adventures of a 14th-century Italian banker and merchant navigating the political and religious upheavals of medieval Europe and the Middle East. Created primarily by writer-artist Gilles Chaillet, with later contributions from Eckart Sackmann, Thierry Lebreton, Christophe Ansar, and Jean-Pierre Joblin, this 22-issue series blends historical detail with epic storytelling. Its meticulous research and atmospheric art make it a standout in European historical comics.
