Hexagon Comics is a syndicate of French, Italian and Spanish comic book writers and artists formed in early 2004,[1] after French publisher Semic Comics decided to cancel its line of comic books.
Taking advantage of European copyright laws,[citation needed] these writers and artists got together, reclaimed the rights to the more than 300 characters they had created for Éditions Lug, Semic Comics' predecessor, and reorganized under the banner of Hexagon Comics. Among these are Zembla, Jed Puma, Drago, Dragut, Rakar, Baroud, Wampus, Jaleb, Jaydee, Homicron, Brigade Temporelle, C.L.A.S.H., Sibilla, Phenix, Starlock, Kabur, Waki, etc.
Since 2006, Hexagon Comics has been releasing a number of books in English — primarily translated by Jean-Marc Lofficier — through its affiliated company, Black Coat Press.[2]
In France, starting in May 2010, Hexagon Comics launched a series of monthly, 500-plus-page trade paperbacks reprinting classic stories from its library, as well as launching three 48-page comic-book series: Strangers, Strangers Universe and Le Garde Républicain.
