Aria (Belgian comic)

Aria is a Belgian comic book series written and drawn by Michel Weyland, with colours by Nadine Weyland. It debuted in Tintin in August 1979.

Synopsis

Aria is an unbound woman warrior, living in an unknown medieval era which is most likely situated in a parallel universe, or in the future. Technology and magic coexist, while the powers of the spiritual compete with those acquired by humans. Aria fights for the weak and voiceless, oppressed by the powerholders. She eventually overcomes all injustices and hostility, not in the least because of her good looks or fearlessness.

In 2019, publisher Dupuis decided to discontinue several long-running comic series, including Aria.
