Die Liebesabenteuer des Monsieur Vieux Bois #[nn]

This collection brings together Rodolphe Töpffer's pioneering graphic novel 'Die Liebesabenteuer des Monsieur Vieux Bois' (often known in English as 'The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck') alongside other early comic stories by the Swiss artist. Originally published in the 1830s, Töpffer's work is widely regarded as one of the first modern comic strips, and this 2016 edition from avant-verlag presents his satirical, hand-drawn tales in a single volume. The book offers a glimpse into the origins of sequential art, showcasing Töpffer's inventive panel layouts and humorous storytelling that predate and influenced the medium as we know it.
