Alix, or
The Adventures of Alix, is a
Franco-Belgian comics series drawn in the
ligne claire style by
Jacques Martin. The stories revolve around a young
Gallo-Roman man named Alix in the late
Roman Republic. Although the series is renowned for its historical accuracy and stunning set detail, the hero has been known to wander into anachronistic situations up to two centuries out of his era. The stories unfold throughout the reaches of the
Roman world, including the city of Rome,
Gaul, the German frontier,
Mesopotamia, Africa and
Asia Minor. One voyage goes as far as China.
