The Comics
25 albums of action, intrigue, and adventure since 1990
Created by writer Jean Van Hamme and artist Philippe Francq, the Largo Winch comic series has sold over 33 million copies in 25 languages. Each story is told across two albums—the first ends on a cliffhanger, the second brings resolution. Van Hamme wrote the first 20 albums before passing the writing duties to Éric Giacometti and later Jérémie Guez.
