Bambi

Published from 2006 to 2012 by Éditions IMHO, Bambi is a seven-issue French comic series that reimagines the classic Disney tale as a stark, adult-oriented war drama set in a forest torn by conflict. The series is best known for its haunting, painterly art and its unflinching exploration of survival, trauma, and the loss of innocence, offering a mature counterpoint to the beloved children's story. A cult favorite among European comics readers, Bambi stands out for its ambitious tonal shift and its willingness to treat its animal characters with the gravity of human soldiers in combat.
