12 ans

In this French series from Glénat, 12 ans (2016–2021) follows a cast of characters navigating the pivotal threshold of adolescence over a 20-issue run. Known for its empathetic, slice-of-life storytelling, the series captures the quiet upheavals of growing up—friendships, first loves, and identity shifts—without melodrama. Its creator, whose name is most associated with the project, grounds the narrative in everyday moments that resonate universally, making it a quietly essential coming-of-age tale in European comics.
