Charlie Schlingo

Charlie Schlingo’s eponymous series, a single-issue 1983 release from French publisher Futuropolis, is a concentrated burst of the artist-writer’s singular vision. Entirely self-drawn and self-written, it stands as a pure, unfiltered artifact of its creator’s idiosyncratic style. This brief, potent comic matters as a snapshot of a distinctive European cartoonist’s voice, capturing a moment in the alternative-comics landscape of the early 1980s.
