Gilles de Geus ("Gilles de Geus") is a Dutch humoristic/historical comics series, created by Hanco Kolk and Peter de Wit in 1983. It is set in the 16th and 17th centuries during the Eighty Years' War and features the adventures of Gilles, a brave but not always too bright resistance fighter who is part of the Geuzen, an army who fight the Spanish oppressor in the Netherlands. The series has been compared to Asterix[2] for being a humoristic comics series set in a historical time period, containing a lot of satirical winks and references.

The series has been translated into English as "Bryant the Brigand" and was published by Alibris.[3] It has also been translated into Spanish as Tristán el salteador.
