About the series
A sweeping, educational series from French publisher Larousse, Histoire de France en bandes dessinées ran for 24 issues between 1976 and 1978, presenting the country's history through the comic strip medium. The project is most associated with the collective work of French writers and artists, including figures like Jean Ollivier, Eduardo Teixeira Coelho, and Raymond Poïvet, who brought key periods and figures to life in a vivid, accessible format. It stands as a landmark in European educational comics, blending rigorous historical research with the narrative power of sequential art to make French history engaging for a broad audience.
