13, rue de l'espoir

In the early 1980s, French publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés released this brief, two-issue series, a concise slice of European comics storytelling. The title, translating to "13 Hope Street," suggests a focus on a specific location and its inhabitants, though the series' short run leaves its full scope as an enigmatic fragment. While details on its creative team are limited, its presence in the Humanoïdes catalog—home to Métal Hurlant—places it within a fertile period for ambitious, offbeat graphic narratives. It stands as a curious, minor artifact of that era, a quick glimpse into a story that ended before it could fully unfold.
