Brunelle

Brunelle made her entrance in the pages of Gomme ! #1 back in 1981, a Bronze Age creation from the pen of Christian Godard published by Glénat — one of the most adventurous names in French-language comics. With a run stretching into 1982 and a cast of companions including Baluchon, Percevan, and the wonderfully named Chafouin, she inhabits a richly populated corner of the Francophone comics world that rewards curious collectors willing to look beyond the Anglo-American mainstream. Rare in the catalog with just six recorded appearances, Brunelle is exactly the kind of character that makes digging through the Bronze Age feel like a treasure hunt.
