Le Chien des Basketville

Pétillon’s Le Chien des Basketville, launched in 1984 with Albin Michel, is a single-issue French comic that stands as a self-contained, cult-classic oddity. Written and drawn entirely by Pétillon, it offers a dryly humorous, offbeat narrative that showcases his distinctive, minimalist ligne claire style. Though it never expanded beyond its initial release, this slim volume endures as a beloved example of the artist’s singular vision and the quirky, creator-driven work of the era.
