Saga de Xam is a comic by Nicholas Deville--credited as Nicolas Devil--and based on a scenario by film director Jean Rollin. The book was published by Éric Losfeld in 1967 in an edition of 5000.

It was printed on heavy 300gsm paper with cloth bound covers, and quickly sold out. Éric Losfeld said in his autobiography that he wouldn't reprint it, preferring it to be a collector's item.

The book is a science fiction story of Saga, the girl with blue skin from planet Xam. It is one of the rarest and finest examples of the psychedelic graphic novel.

Devil, aka Nicolas Deville, was one of Rollin's art directors who also worked for a time as a comic artist and illustrator. For Saga de Xam, Devil was the principal artist in the first six chapters, and wrote most of the text and dialogue. In the final chapter, artists Philippe Druillet, Barbara Girard, Merri, and Nicolas Kapnist collaborate with Devil on the artwork.

This copy came from the library of David Kunzle (1936-2024), a UCLA professor emeritus, widely recognized as one of the founders of contemporary comics scholarship. Kunzle taught at Santa Barbara from 1965 until 1973, when he was dismissed for issues related to his protests of the Vietnam War. Kunzle's scholarship was unusually wide-ranging, including political and public art, fashion history, Che Guevara and the revolutionary art of Latin America.
