June 2026 (Hexagon Comics USA) - IVAN KARINE: THE ORIGINAL CAPTAIN UKRAINE.  Two stories by Enzo Chiomenti translated by J.-M. & Randy Lofficier; cover by Alfredo Macall. With this special issue, we commemorate the 63rd anniversary of the character of Ivan Karine, which first appeared in February 1963, under the pen of the great Italian artist Vincenzo Chiomenti. Ivan Karine takes place in 17th century Ukraine and Russia, two vast lands populated by Russians, Tartars, Poles, Ukrainians, Jews, Turks, Romani and Cossacks, all ruled by the Tsars. It is in this exotic setting that its hero, Kochevoy (Captain) Ivan Karine, a Zaporozhian Cossack, seeks to uphold justice and protect the proverbial widows and orphans. Ivan also operates as a secret agent for Tsar Peter the Great (1672-1725). Ably assisted by the gigantic Cossack Piotr Mironov, and the young and ingenious Pavlo Gavrile, he undertakes mission after mission, each one more dangerous than the last, in the service of good.
