La Gloire d'Albert

Étienne Davodeau, the sole writer and artist, launched La Gloire d'Albert with Delcourt in 1999, a single-issue comic that stands as a self-contained, intimate story from the celebrated French cartoonist. The book explores the quiet, everyday life of its titular character, reflecting Davodeau's characteristic blend of warmth, social observation, and understated humanism. Though brief, it marks an early, foundational work in his acclaimed career, offering a glimpse into the themes that would define his later, more expansive narratives.
