context_page_description: 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.
context_section_description: The series first appeared as a serial in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin on 16 September 1948.  Three more adventures appeared before Les Editions du Lombard (the publishing house responsible for Tintin magazine) began reissuing them in hardcover book form.  Lapsing in 1959, Lombard turned over rights to Casterman (publisher of The Adventures of Tintin) in 1965.  After going out of print for several years, the earlier Lombard volumes were also reintroduced to new readers in 1969–1973.  As Tintin magazine declined in sales and popularity, Vercingetorix (1985) was the last Alix story to appear in its pages.  Thereafter Alix was only published in book form.
