Initially serialized in Spirou magazine in 1984, "XIII"was created by Jean Van Hamme, the author behind "Thorgal" and "Largo Winch"--the latter in comic and book form as well as on the big screen--and William Vance, illustrator of the bestsellers "Howard Flynn," "Bruce Hawker," "Bruno Brazil," "Bob Morane" and "Marshall Blueberry." This special volume, however, was illustrated by recently departed comic legend Jean "Moebius" Giraud, of "Blueberry" and "L'Incal" fame.
