About the series
Georges Colomb, writing and drawing as Christophe, helmed nearly all of Le Journal de la jeunesse’s ten issues, a late-19th-century French children’s comic serial from publisher Hachette. Running from 1873 to 1914, this pioneering work blended educational themes with lively cartooning, establishing Christophe as a key figure in early French comics. Its long span and consistent creative voice make it a notable artifact of the medium’s formative years.
