Le nouveau Gargantua

A single-issue satirical comic from French publisher Les Enfants Rouges, Le nouveau Gargantua (2018) reimagines Rabelais’s giant as a modern allegory for excess. The series, currently consisting solely of this debut, is associated with the publisher’s tradition of literary, offbeat graphic storytelling. It matters as a sharp, contemporary twist on a classic, using its oversized premise to skewer consumerism and societal gluttony.
