Les Indes fourbes (lit.'The Treacherous Indies') is a 2019 comic book written by Alain Ayroles and drawn by Juanjo Guarnido. It is set in the 17th century and follows the Spanish swindler Pablos de Ségovie as he travels to South America, where he searches for El Dorado and experiences a series of adventures with Spanish settlers, freed slaves and natives.[1][2]

The story was conceived as a sequel to the Spanish picaresque novel The Swindler, written by Francisco de Quevedo and originally published in 1626. Delcourt published Les Indes fourbes on 28 August 2019.[3]

Anne Douhaire-Kerdoncuff of France Inter wrote that there is not a boring second while reading Les Indes fourbes, calling it "one of the best comics of the season".[1]
