Les beaux contes de fées

In 1926, the Société Parisienne d’Édition launched Les beaux contes de fées, a ten-issue comics series that retold classic fairy tales in a lush, illustrated format. Published over just two years, the series was a showcase for the era’s French comic artistry, blending narrative charm with visual elegance. While specific creators aren’t widely credited today, the series stands as a refined example of early European fairy-tale comics, preserving timeless stories for a new generation of readers. Its brief but beautiful run makes it a notable artifact of 1920s French publishing.
