Histoire comique de Charles-Quint et autres contes

A single-issue collection of short comics from the French publisher Editions Jonas, Histoire comique de Charles-Quint et autres contes (1979) presents a series of humorous historical and fantastical tales. The book is most associated with the work of artist and writer Yves Chaland, whose clean ligne claire style brings a playful, retro energy to these brief narratives. As an early showcase of Chaland's distinctive approach, it offers a glimpse into the development of a key figure in the revival of classic European comic traditions.
