Yoko Tsuno

Roger Leloup’s long-running Belgian sci-fi adventure series follows the resourceful young Japanese electronics engineer Yoko Tsuno as she travels the globe and beyond, often encountering ancient technologies and alien civilizations. Originally launched in the 1970s, this 2011-to-present Cobolt collection gathers Leloup’s meticulously researched, beautifully detailed stories—notably the five-issue run—that blend hard science, cultural curiosity, and a strong, capable heroine. A cornerstone of Franco-Belgian comics, the series stands out for its intelligent, optimistic tone and Leloup’s singular, decades-long creative vision.
