Apologies, it looks like we had some out-of-date info here… comic book creator and publisher Jean-Marc Lofficier is still on the twice-monthly schedule for his Hexagon Comics, but earlier medical diagnoses have been superseded. He says now, "As long as I follow my daily treatment, I'm back to normal health, but my lungs took a bit of a hit, and my days as a yellow jersey are behind me now. However I must be careful to avoid any infections, COVID or even flu, etc., as it might trigger another myasthenic crisis. To explain: we're keeping my immune system at bay to stop it from attacking my muscles, so I'm more vulnerable to other stuff."
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 June, that means Kabur #7: The Jewels Of Cing-Kor by Jean-Marc Lofficier, Roberto Castro of Vampirella, Red Sonja, Tarzan, Dejah Thoris, Elvira, Flash Gordon, Battlestar Galactica and Magnus Robot Hunter, and Mario Guevara of Blackbeard, Solomon Kane, BloodRayne, Ultimate FF and Victorian Undead.

After avoiding the many traps of the city of Foralume, KABUR, now alone since Arianrod's departure, must cross the Purple Sea to reach the Southern Continent of Gondaxa, which he must also cross in order to rescue the beautiful LAGRID, kidnapped by SELINOR PSAH, the powerful sorcerer-sultan of the distant city of Arkhanal. But Psah creates a magic storm which causes Kabur to run aground near the citadel of Yaros, currently besieged by the formidable SHAIKORTIN pirates who seek to retake it from the TOADMEN OF NUNIA, who have seized it. In the midst of this savage battle, Kabur meets a traveler from the Future, TANKA, and finally unravels the mystery of his older brother's disappearance… After the siege of Yaros, KABUR finally arrives in Gondaxa in the port of Cing-Kor. But, without resources to continue his journey, he is forced to join forces with FERRANE. a young thief who plans to steal the treasure of the sinister magician NODON. But the wizard is not defenseless, and the enterprise quickly proves more perilous than expected, especially since Ferrane has not told Kabur the whole truth…
