(Note: Didier Comes and his work are very new to me. if my information here is incorrect, let me know so the proper changes can be made. thanks. ~kojak)
Didier Comes (Belgium 1942 -2013) began work on his comic Ergun l'errant: Le Dieu Vivant (The Wandering Ergun: The Living God) for the French comic magazine Pilote in 1974, but the series was canceled and revived in the Belgian magazine A Suivre in 1980. This Spanish translation was released that same year. Didier creates a bold mix of Kirby and Steranko filtered through his more lush European sensibilities, with masterfully designed costumes and set pieces. As far as I can tell, there have been no recent European editions, and there has never been an English translation. Hopefully there is a publisher out there who can change that. Until then, here is the entire volume, for scholarly review.
