Published Mon, 01 Jul 2019 11:30:58 -0500

The Lunatic Legion by David Lafuente, Cyril Bouquet and Jean-Marc Lofficier is published by Hexagon Comics USA today.

Published in the European album format, a 7×10 squarebound comic, 52 pages black-and-white, it tells the story of the oddest superheroes ever – Baron Sarcasm, a Scrooge-like, wealthy, cantankerous elderly man living in a castle somewhere in the French countryside; his niece, the pretty, spunky Mademoiselle Mademoiselle, also a brilliant inventor, her teenage son Gizmo, and their cousin, a gentle giant nicknamed Captain Camembert.

Together, they built a rocket in their backyard shed in 1954, went exploring into outer space, and returned today, having barely aged a day, now transformed into… The Lunatic Legion! But are they the same astronauts who left half a century ago?

Well… a bit.

Discover the origins of the Lunatic Legion, previously introduced in Phenix #1 (still available for purchase) and its first adventures with two stories by writer Jean-Marc Lofficier, French artist Cyril Bouquet, and Spanish artist David Lafuente, best known for his work on Ultimate Spider-Man and The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong.
