Zembla in Strangers from Hexagon Comics for December 2023

Hexagon puts European comics written by Jean-Marc Lofficier, including Strangers #11 with José Luis Ruiz Pérez and Nestor Vagas.

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 December, that means Strangers #11 with José Luis Ruiz Pérez and Nestor Vagas. And a few other books from recent months as well.
