Pervers Pépère

Pervers Pépère is a boundary-pushing adult humor character from the irreverent French alternative magazine Fluide Glacial, created by writer Jacques Lob and cartoonist Alexis. A satirical figure embodying transgressive comedy, he starred in his own eponymous series alongside other anarchic Audie titles.

Straight from the irreverent pages of Fluide Glacial — the flagship of French alternative comics — Pervers Pépère made his debut in 1976, a true child of the Bronze Age's appetite for boundary-pushing humor. Created by the sharp-witted Jacques Lob and the brilliantly sardonic Alexis, this character found a natural home in Audie's anarchic stable, sharing ink with the likes of Superdupont and Commissaire Bougret across Fluide Glacial, Rhââ Lovely, and his very own eponymous series. His run through the late '70s and into the '80s places him squarely in that golden era of Franco-Belgian underground comedy, when Fluide Glacial was gleefully dismantling every sacred cow in sight. A modest catalog footprint only adds to his cult appeal — for collectors who love their French comics sharp, strange, and unapologetically of their moment, Pervers Pépère is a genuine find.
