Haute enfance

From 2024, Haute enfance is a French-language comic series from Gallimard that reimagines childhood as a strange, mythic adventure. The series, currently one issue in, is written by a creator whose work blends literary sensibility with surreal, folkloric imagery. It matters for its quiet, poetic departure from conventional coming-of-age stories, offering a dreamlike portrait of youth that feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary.
