XIII

A Brazilian reprint series from Panini Brasil, XIII (2006–2007) collects the classic European espionage thriller originally created by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance. Over nine issues, it follows an amnesiac man marked with the Roman numeral XIII as he uncovers a vast conspiracy involving the U.S. government and a shadowy cabal. Vance’s clean, realistic linework is the visual constant across this run, making it a key entry point for Portuguese-language readers to one of the most influential Franco-Belgian comic series of the late 20th century.
