Wampus is a French comic book character written by Franco Frescura and illustrated by Luciano Bernasconi for French publisher Editions Lug in 1969.

Wampus is an alien monster with shapeshifting powers who has been sent by an evil cosmic intelligence, the Great Mind, to destroy Earth. He is discovered and pursued by French secret agent, Jean Sten. In the course of its original six issues, Wampus caused havoc in France, Germany, the USA, Japan, England and Spain.

Wampus was originally published in six, digest-sized magazines. The series was then discontinued because of censorship problems. The final episode was eventually serialized in 1985 in Ombrax, another of Lug's magazines. The same concept was also reprised as L'Autre (The Other) in the magazine Futura in 1973.

Wampus returned in 2001, written by Jean-Marc Lofficier and still drawn by Bernasconi for a series of seven new episodes which completed the storyline begun in 1969, depicting the final confrontation between Jean Sten and his alien nemesis. The stories also featured a number of guest-stars from the Lug universe.

Wampus is now part of Hexagon Comics which has published a collection of his adventures translated into English.

    The Failed Paradise

    by: Impious

    Cold blooded murder this is
    The burning will was not our choice
    Scared eyes are staring at the sickness
    Raped bodies will never be buried
    Our children were slaughtered
    by the holy might
    We all live like beasts in the field
    When your skull is crushed,
    he smiles with joy...
    God will dance on your grave
    He'll dance on your grave
    and spit on your stone
    [Solo: Adzic]
    Preachers of holiness
    believe in the innocence of God
    We're hatred and born to bleed
    Shall we survive in hell or commit suicide?
    Before my eyes all shall die
    But the preachers are hiding
    behind the walls of stone
    Immortal death lives inside
    Cold blooded murder this is
    The burning will was not our choice
    Scared eyes are staring at the sickness
    Raped bodies will never be buried
    Our children were slaughtered
    by the holy might
    We all live like beasts in the field
    When your skull is crushed,
    he smiles with joy...
    God will dance on your grave
    Indemnity is lost
    in this world of beasts
    Lay down and face the doom
    in these black hating eyes
    ...my eyes!
    [Solo: Adzic]
    Preachers of holiness
    believe in the innocence of God
    We're hatred and born to bleed
    Shall we survive in hell or commit suicide?
    Before my eyes all shall die
    But the preachers are hiding
    behind the walls of stone
