Le Dessinateur

In this short-lived but charming French series from Bamboo Édition, Erroc and François Dimberton script the humorous trials of a struggling comic artist, brought to life by Jean Trolley’s expressive linework. Published across just two issues from 2008 to 2010, Le Dessinateur offers a light, self-aware peek behind the drawing board, poking gentle fun at the creative process and the eccentricities of the comics industry. It’s a modest but affectionate slice-of-life comedy for readers who enjoy behind-the-scenes tales of artistic ambition.
