Ciao Pékin

Ciao Pékin, a single-issue comic from Casterman launched in 2001, captures a moment of cultural collision and personal discovery in contemporary Beijing. Written and illustrated with a keen eye for everyday detail, the story follows a Westerner navigating the city's labyrinthine streets and social codes. Though brief, the series stands as a thoughtful, slice-of-life snapshot of expatriate experience, rendered with the warmth and observational precision that marks the best of European travelogues in comics form.
