Hexagon Brings Barbarella Back To The Guardian Of The Republic

Published Sun, 04 Apr 2021 11:55:29 -0500

We like to keep an eye on Jean-Marc Lofficier's Hexagon Comics USA line, European comics mostly written by Jean-Marc Lofficier, translated into English and distributed solely through his website, Amazon page or at conventions – when they come back. Selling enough copies to make it more than worthwhile, as well as making certain comics available to a wider English-speaking audience. Retailers can purchase them at a 40% discount from distributor Ingram or from the publisher. And for April, that means two books, including a return for Barbarella.
