Alfredo Macall & Nestor Vargas Bring Strangers to Hexagon in 2023
Hexagon Comics USA continues to put back into print European comics, mostly written by Jean-Marc Lofficier, translated into English and distributed solely through his website, Amazon page or at conventions. Selling enough copies to make it more than worthwhile, as well as making certain comics available to a wider English-speaking audience. And repackaging work by familiar names in American comics before they made it big. Retailers can purchase Hexagon Comics at a 40% discount from distributor Ingram or from the publisher. And for January 2023 that means new Strangers Vol 7 with The Return Of Hoimicron and a rerelease of Strangers Vol 1.

THE SEA KING, a young naval officer who gained the power to breathe underwater thanks to his uncle's experiments… MARINO and EGA, two "kidz" from the alien sunken city of Kosmos with their own strange aquatic powers… MISS METEOR, a scientist who traveled to the negative dimension of Zhud where she gained cosmic powers in a freak accident… THE ZORR-KO, a powerful android built millions of years ago by the mighty Fomore civilization and abandoned on Earth… These characters, all "strangers," have been brought together by TANKA, a former jungle lord recruited by entities from our planet's farthest future and now empowered to protect our world from extra-terrestrial menaces.
In this seventh volume of Strangers, the mission of our heroes is to travel to the Kosmos to reclaim the water component of the powerful Kera weapon, and to Zhud to rescue their fellow Stranger Homicron, while thwarting the evil schemes of two would-be conquerors….
