About this Collection

This collection brings together the complete run of the 1994 French comic series 'Mildiou,' published by Seuil. The story follows a young boy named Mildiou who discovers he has the power to control insects, leading him into strange and often unsettling adventures in a rural French setting. Created by writer and artist Jean-Claude Götting, the series blends whimsical fantasy with a touch of dark humor, making it a distinctive work in European comics of the 1990s.

In "Mildiou," Lewis Trondheim crafts a darkly whimsical tale of tyranny and absurd justice, where a despotic usurper, stripped of his crown, seeks one final victim to absolve his defeat. With a cast that includes only the fallen king and the unwitting Lapinot, the story unfolds in sharp, expressive art by Trondheim, whose distinctive style brings both menace and melancholy to the tale. A 60-cent comic from 1994, it stands as a singular, quietly devastating fable.
