Bob Fish

Bob Fish, a single-issue comic published in 1981 by Les Humanoïdes Associés, is a compact, stylish work by French cartoonist Chaland. Known for his crisp ligne claire art and playful homage to classic adventure strips, Chaland introduces a dapper, globe-trotting hero in a brief but memorable outing. This standalone story matters as an early showcase of Chaland’s distinctive, retro-futurist aesthetic, which would influence a generation of European comics artists.
