About the series
Rodolphe Töpffer’s Histoire de Mr. Vieux-Bois (1837) is widely regarded as one of the earliest comic books, created by the Swiss artist and writer who pioneered the modern comic format. From its single issue, this work established Töpffer’s signature blend of satirical, sequential storytelling and expressive line art, laying the groundwork for the comic medium as we know it. Its historical significance as a foundational text makes it essential for understanding the evolution of graphic narratives.
