L'Année du Dragon

A tender, slice-of-life French comic series from Editions Carabas, L'Année du Dragon follows a group of friends over the course of a single year, capturing the quiet, transformative moments of adolescence. Written and illustrated by Vanyda, the three-issue run is notable for its gentle, observational storytelling and soft, expressive art, which together evoke the bittersweet passage of time and the small dramas of everyday life. It stands as a warm, understated gem of early-2000s European indie comics, celebrated for its intimate character work and emotional authenticity.
