Popularity

First released in 1984 as a serial in the popular French Spirou magazine, XIII was an instant hit among Spirou readers. The first three issues were released as a single hardback volume by Spirou published Dargaud the same year, a trend continued for later issues. By the time of the eight issue, Thirteen against one, sales of the hardback had reached 140,000 copies, and the publisher belatedly realizes they have a bestseller on hands. Promotion starts, including a special drawing by the French national lottery in 2000 with 1,500,000 tickets and a €13,000 grand prize.
