In 1969, Éditions Lug began publishing licensed translations of Marvel Comics in a magazine called Fantask.
[1] In the next two decades, Éditions Lug continued to expand, thanks to its growing program of French editions of Marvel Comics, which began to include Conan the Barbarian.
[3] After Navarro's departure, Semic continued to publish French editions of Marvel Comics, but in 1993 discontinued the creation of original material.
As a result, in early 2004, a multinational group of writers and artists formed Hexagon Comics and reclaimed the rights to the characters they had created for the publisher.
Since 2011, the name has been revived by one of Tournon's companies, Semic Distribution, which is responsible for marketing derivative products, in particular those of Marvel Comics.
