Woody Allen

Born from the pen of French cartoonist Pétillon in 1986, this Woody Allen is a Copper Age creation published by Albin Michel — a distinctly European comics figure whose very existence speaks to the playful, satirical spirit that Franco-Belgian bandes dessinées brought to pop culture. Over a publishing span stretching nearly three decades to 2013, this character keeps remarkably elevated company, sharing pages with the likes of Thor, Mister Fantastic, and La Chose. A rare and curious find for collectors with an eye for international comics history, this one rewards the adventurous browser willing to look beyond the anglophone mainstream.
