Almanach de Shirley

Published between 1938 and 1942 by the Société Parisienne d’Édition, Almanach de Shirley is a five-issue French comic anthology series whose brief run was bookended by the shadow of World War II. Though details of its contents are scarce, it stands as a modest artifact of the pre- and early-war European comic market, reflecting the era’s pulp-influenced storytelling and the resilience of periodical publishing during a turbulent time.
