Hexagon Comics

Hexagon Comics

"Hexagon Comics" is a syndicate of French, Italian and Spanish comic book writers and artists formed in early 2004, after French publisher Semic Comics decided to cancel its line of comic books.

Taking advantage of European copyright laws, these writers and artists got together, reclaimed the rights to the characters they had created for Editions Lug, Semic Comics' predecessor, and reorganized under the banner of Hexagon Comics. Among these are "Zembla", "Jed Puma", "Dago", "Rakar", "Baroud", "Wampus", "Jaleb", "Homicron", "Brigade Temporelle", "C.L.A.S.H.", "Sibilla", "Phenix", "Starlock", "Kabur" and "Waki".

Hexagon Comics, with Black Coat Press, is currently publishing a series of trade paperbacks that contain old and new comic book stories called The Hexagon Comics Library. "Wampus", "C.L.A.S.H." and "Phenix" were published in 2006; "Kabur" and "Zembla" in 2007; "Homicron" in 2008.
