DE SANTIX® the creative studios producing Captain Euro educational, publishing and licensing for Europe’s Superhero, have launched a regular comic strip now published weekly to serve its growing fan base.

It needs to clarify its brand and purpose to citizens. And it needs to become cool!

The weekly comics will continue Captain Euro’s mission to help create a stronger European identity and educate the public on critical aspect of the EU while entertaining them. His comic adventures aim to entertain, educate and diminish Euroscepticism by explaining the key role that the EU plays in the world  and show the critical benefits that the EU brings to all EU citizens.
