Jean-Marc Lofficier is a long-standing comic book creator, writer, publisher and translator. You'll occasionally see his name pop up on Marvel or DC "Special Thanks" credits in the TV and movies, but he is also the publisher of Hexagon Comics USA, which continues to republish European comics, many of which he wrote, translated into English, and distributed exclusively through his website, Amazon page, or at conventions. He tells Bleeding Cool, "In May, I released a Guardian comic with the modern-day versions of Puma and Roxy. Here, I'm reprinting the old classic Puma and Roxy comics from the 60s, which inspired the new characters — sort of like Phantom and Ghost Rider, if you will. I'm going to do this on a regular basis now: inserting a reprint of an old 60s comic when we just featured the new versions of the same characters. Thanks to our "Classics" reprint program, it is now possible to discover the first adventures of Hexagon's "silver age" characters who inspired new versions of these heroes."
