Athos, Porthos & Aramis. Athos, Porthos & Aramis were originally created by Alexandre Dumas, père, and appeared in the Mousquetaires trilogy: Les Trois Mousquetaires (1844), Vingt Ans Après (1845), and Le Vicomte de Bragelonne (1848). In 1922 the French author Jean de La Hire (Paul Ardent, Black Corsair, Boy Scout, Franc-Hardi, Nyctalope, Joe Rollon, Three Boy Scouts, Two Kids), under the pseudonym of “Alexandre Zorka,” wrote Les Mousquetaires de 15 Ans #1-50 (1922-1923).

De La Hire’s Athos, Porthos & Aramis are Cape-and-Épée Heroes. Despite being only fifteen years old, they have a variety of adventures in France in the early 17^th century, anticipating their later exploits.

They appear in stories with titles like “The House of the Executioner,” “The Black Masks,” and “The Witch of Concino.”
