Launching November 2022 from Skybound

Today Skybound unveiled a new look at Lastman Book One, which kicks off the complete series remastering of the critically acclaimed French fight comic in November 2022. Lastman Book One contains volumes 1 + 2 of the original French series and a new foreword by Robert Kirkman. Skybound’s preview showcases the first appearance of the mysterious Richard Aldana.

Adrian Velba has trained all year to fight in the Valley of Kings’ legendary tournament. However, despite his ambition, he has no chance of winning. Not only is his partner unable to compete, but at 12 years old, Adrian is the longest of longshots. That is, until a mysterious, powerful stranger enters town, offering to join forces with Adrian. But who is Richard Aldana? And why in a world of magic does he rely solely on his fists?
