Les petits travaux d'Hercule

First published in 1958 by Éric Losfeld, Les petits travaux d'Hercule is a single-issue French comic that reimagines classical myth with a sly, subversive charm. Writer Jean-Marc Soyez and artist Jacques Poulet collaborated on this slim volume, which stands as a curious, early artifact of the underground bande dessinée scene. Its importance lies in its playful, irreverent tone, hinting at the adult-oriented satire that would flourish in later decades.
