Tom Pouce

Debuting in the pages of Mustang #54 in 1980, Tom Pouce is a Bronze Age creation from Editions Lug — the beloved French publisher that gave European comics fans a universe all their own. Over a remarkable span stretching across some 45 years, this compact corner of the Lug cosmos has proven surprisingly durable, racking up appearances in Mustang, All Star Photonik, and Black & White Stories alongside a colorful roster of characters including Photonik, Tommy Oldfield, and the wonderfully named Taddeus Tenterhook. With a collector-significant key issue to their name and a publishing history that bridges the Bronze Age all the way to the present day, Tom Pouce is a rewarding discovery for any fan eager to explore the rich, often underappreciated world of Franco-Belgian comics publishing.
