Most Popular Books by Jean-Marc Lofficier

Hexagon Comics isn't merely Wampus, Zembla, Phenix, and the Strangers. For well over sixty years, they published a number of anthology comics in the tradition of DC's Mystery in Space, Strange Adventures, etc., with colorful titles such as Yuma, Nevada, Mustang, Rodeo... In addition to the regular hero-driven series, these books also contained many one-shots: war stories, western adventures, supernatural tales, etc. A few of the characters who first appeared in these eventually returned, but most never went beyond these initial appearances. In this book, we have translated and reprinted five of these one-shots, published between 2000 and 2003. Only two have ever been published in the U.S. before and, as they were all drawn by remarkable artists, we felt that they deserved greater exposure. Contents: Phantom Of Which Opera?

Was the Bronze Gladiator deliberately drawn to Earth to fight Wampus? How did Tanka come to inherit the powers of an Invariant? What are the origins of the mysterious Futura? What terrible danger did Frank Universal and Sally Swift face in the Necromancer's castle? And how did Starlock free himself from the evil clutches of S.P.I.D.E.R.? The seven stories collected in this volume are more than mere prologues, but form an integral part of the vast space-time saga of the STRANGERS, revealing for the first time the secrets that led to the formation of the strangest superhero group of all time.

From the sun-bleached streets of Tunis to the bottom of the seas, from the sordid back alleys of Paris to the blood-drenched trenches of the Somme, Sar Dubnotal, the Great Psychagogue, his disciple Rudolph, his medium Gianetti Annunciata, and his trio of assistants, Frank, Frejus and Otto, pursue evil wherever it hides. The evil hypnotist Tserpchikopf, the monstrous Cthulhu, the diabolical Doktor Von Meyer, the vengeful wraith of Ligeia and the malevolent Helen Vaughn are amongst the foes they face in this volume. Published anonymously in 1909 in a series of French pulp magazines, the Sar Dubnotal series features one of the first superheroes of the supernatural. This collection includes one original, never translated before Sar Dubnotal story and eleven exploits of the Great Psychagogue penned by seven modern masters of popular fiction."
