The longest running comic book in history, The Tales And Adventures Of Hunter LaGrange, has reached the mind-boggling milestone of 10,000 issues in a single, never-ending storyline.

Beginning in the late 400s following the end of the Ardennes Flare Up, a young Aaron Lecroy wanted to a small, cheap gesture to raise the spirits of his countrymen. During his off time at a newspaper print shop, he started small, humorous, one panel comics inspired by political cartoons. The novelty was a hit and Aaron soon had 20 reoccurring comics that were printed in the back of the newspaper.

After Aaron grew more comfortable with the print machine, he started making dedicated comic books, with his first being ‘Slave Hunter’. Ardennes had a long history of animosity with firryans, but it didn’t land in the post-war period.

Quickly retooling, Aaron made Hunter LaGrange. Rather than hunting escaped slaves, Hunter LaGrange was a lawman who hunted criminals.

After 37 issues, Aaron supposedly got bored with the concept and gave the series to a proxy; an Eluid named Delaeron who published at least one issue of Hunter LeGrange a month ever since.

As an Eluid – the half breed between an elf and a relgi druid – Delaeron can theoretically live forever but is effectively unable to leave his hometown, giving him plenty of time to plan his series decades in advance.

Notable story arcs include The Bloodmoon, which was a single night in-story but was told over the course of 32 real-life years, and the Infamous Eighty, which slowly foreshadowed that 80 issues had taken place while LaGrange was in a coma, and was the progenitor of the ‘it was all a dream’ trope.

Hunter LaGrange is currently 47 years old, and Delaeron says he will continue the series until LaGrange is over 90.
