About the series
In this three-issue series from Delcourt (2002–2006), the classic fables of Jean de La Fontaine are reimagined as a comic, with each volume adapting a selection of the timeless animal tales. The series is best known for its lush, painterly artwork by Pierre-Marie Valat, whose detailed illustrations bring the moral lessons and sly humor of the originals to life. A concise but visually rich tribute to a cornerstone of French literature, it stands as a fond, accessible entry point for new readers and a treat for longtime fans.
