About the series
Rodolphe Töpffer, a pioneer of the modern comic strip, created this single-issue serial for Garnier Frères in 1860, with artwork by his brother François Töpffer. A foundational work in the history of sequential art, Le Docteur Festus showcases the early paneled storytelling and satirical humor that would define the medium. Its enduring influence is felt in every modern comic that follows its lead.
