La vie de Bouddha

About the series
In this serene and visually striking series, published by Tonkam from 2004 to 2006, the life of Siddhartha Gautama is rendered as a reverent, eight-issue comic biography. The narrative traces his journey from prince to ascetic to the enlightened Buddha, with the art and storytelling steeped in the traditions of the historical and spiritual epic. While the series is often associated with the thoughtful, biographical style of its writer and artist, it stands as a distinctive European graphic novel treatment of one of the world’s great spiritual figures, offering a meditative entry point into Buddhist lore for comics readers.
