HEXAGON COMICS: THE FIRST 70 YEARS is “a discovery of unsung European comic books, heretofore unseen by American readers” (Will Eisner), and an “eye-filling collection of some of the best series that Hexagon produced during its long and lustrous history” (Stan Lee), not to be missed by any true comic-book aficionado.

[Travis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A mishmash history of the French comics publisher: featuring character histories, assorted essays from across the world of comics, samples of art and a prose story by me.

anything that features me and Stan Lee, must be quality.

Fun sampler to help you get into Hexagon comics.
