Histoire de Mr Verjus

Gilbert Randon's Histoire de Mr Verjus, launched in 1857 by Maison Philipon, is a single-issue comic that stands as an early landmark in the medium's history. This pioneering work, written and illustrated entirely by Randon, offers a glimpse into the birth of sequential storytelling in France. Its enduring presence in print since the mid-19th century makes it a fascinating artifact for students of comic art and 19th-century publishing.
