XIII Mystery

A spin-off from the main XIII series, XIII Mystery (2008–present, Dargaud Benelux) dedicates each of its six issues to exploring the backstory of a single supporting character from the original saga. This anthology format allows different creative teams to spotlight figures like the enigmatic Jones or the menacing Colonel Carrington, fleshing out their personal histories and motivations. For fans of the long-running Belgian thriller, it deepens the world beyond the amnesiac protagonist, adding rich layers to the conspiracy-ridden universe.
