MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1990*. Stopped in 2001 after 11 issues.

The rather antiheroic title character in these stories from the 1920s is a young clerk working in a shipping company in the ficticious town of Dünkirchen. But he is dreaming of going on adventurous journeys to faraway, exotic places and he eventually finds himself located in the Far East, where he happens to meddle with history.

* The initial series titled Thédore Poussin started in 1987 in France.
