L'enfance d'Alan

A quietly beautiful, autobiographical work from French publisher L'Association, L'enfance d'Alan began in 2012 and has thus far comprised a single, intimate issue. Created by Emmanuel Guibert, the series traces the childhood of his friend Alan Ingram Cope, weaving together memory and illustration with a gentle, observational touch. It stands as a poignant example of the European bande dessinée tradition's capacity for deeply personal, non-fiction storytelling.
