About the series

A lighthearted, all-ages anthology series from France’s Société Parisienne d’Édition, Joyeuse Lecture ran for 85 issues between 1956 and 1963, offering a mix of adventure, humor, and illustrated stories. The series is most closely associated with prolific artist Pellos, whose energetic, clean linework became a defining visual signature across its run. It stands as a charming artifact of mid-century French comics, capturing the era’s family-friendly entertainment before the landscape shifted toward more mature themes.
