La Jeunesse moderne

In the early 1900s, French publisher Henri Geffroy launched La Jeunesse moderne, a weekly comic that ran for 80 issues from 1904 to 1909, blending European and American cartooning talent. The series is notable for featuring early work by Winsor McCay, alongside regular contributions from French artists G. Zilberty, Georges Clavigny, and Gros-Jean. It stands as a fascinating snapshot of the era's burgeoning comic strip culture, bridging transatlantic styles before McCay's later fame.
