About the series
In Banale à tout prix (2018–2021, Dargaud), a 14-issue series, writer and artist Zep (of Titeuf fame) pivots to a more adult, introspective register, exploring the quiet absurdities of modern life through the eyes of a man determined to be utterly unremarkable. The strip's deadpan humor and slice-of-life vignettes, rendered in Zep's clean, expressive linework, dissect the social pressures of conformity and the strange heroism of embracing the mundane. A thoughtful, lightly satirical work from a major French cartoonist, it stands as a reflective counterpoint to his more famous, loud comedies.
