Source-derived summary

Vic Voyage is a series of fantasy-adventure comic books created by Brazilian author and illustrator Sergio Macedo. The comic centers around the eponymous Vic Voyage, a mysterious ocean adventurer instructed by the gods to teach humanity how to live in harmony with nature, and if not, initiate the apocalypse. The series explores New Age and science fiction themes, as well as narratives focusing on indigenous peoples.

The comic series was pre-published in Circus from 1982 to 1984. Originally published in France and in the French language, the book series has five entries, the first coming in 1983 and the last in 1989. The first book, Eldorado 1: Le trésor de Paititi, was published in 1983 by Glénat Éditions. The series received a largely positive critical reception for its characters, depictions of indigenous peoples, and illustrations, though some commentators criticized it as kitschy or the plot as clumsy.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “french comics” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q66361240. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1982, 1984, 1983 and 1989.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
