Les Autres Gens

A sprawling, web-first French comic serial that ran from 2011 to 2014, Les Autres Gens was published by Dupuis and masterminded by Thomas Cadène, who orchestrated a rotating cast of over thirty writers and artists to tell a single, interconnected story. Set in contemporary Paris, the series weaves together the lives of a vast ensemble of characters, exploring their hidden connections, secrets, and everyday dramas in a format that was groundbreaking for its time. Its significance lies in its ambitious, collaborative structure—a real-time serialized narrative that blurred the line between traditional bande dessinée and a living, breathing literary experiment.
