The comic book was a collaboration of the internationally acclaimed Belgian illustrator Hermann Huppen and his fellow countryman, the writer Jean Van Hamme, who is considered one of Europe's foremost comic writers. “Lune de Guerre” was first published in French in the year 2000 by Èditions Dupuis in Belgium, where it quickly developed cult status, which soon also spread to France. The success of “Lune de Guerre” rapidly continued to grow, and it went on to be published in Dutch, German, Danish, Portuguese and Italian.
