Arsène Satard, a humble court recorder, is given superhuman powers by
an old alchimist. When brought in contact with fire, he turns into the
super-powered crime-fighter known as Satanax. He can only remain in
this form for an hour.

Auguste Liquois (1902-1969) was a comic book artist and illustrator from the 1930s and 1940s who took over Tarzan after the Nazis banned the import of American strips in occupied France. Today, Liquois is fondly remembered for his science fiction series, a Flash Gordon imitation, Vers les Mondes Inconnus [Towards The Unknown Worlds] (1943), serialized in "Le Témeraire"; Guerre à la Terre [War against Earth] written by Marijac and serialized in "Coq Hardi" in 1946-47, in which Captain Veyrac fought the invading hordes of little yellow Martians and their monstrous armies; and Salvator, another super-hero, precursor of Satanax, serialized in "Tarzan" in 1947. Liquois retired from comics in 1959. |
