Chroniques de Pékin

Set against the backdrop of modern Beijing, Chroniques de Pékin is a Franco-Chinese comic series from the independent publisher Xiao Pan, launched in 2008. The series captures the pulse of the city through the eyes of its young, creative inhabitants, blending slice-of-life vignettes with a distinctive, poetic visual style. Though it began with a single issue, its atmospheric storytelling and cross-cultural perspective make it a quiet gem of the European bande dessinée scene.
