Les Pieds-Nickelés s’en vont en guerre

Louis Forton’s classic French comic-strip trio—the bumbling, scheming Pieds-Nickelés—is revived in this single-issue volume from Vuibert, published in 2013. The book sends Croquignol, Filochard, and Ribouldingue stumbling into the chaos of World War I, blending Forton’s original early-20th-century artwork with a modern framing that recontextualizes their anarchic humor. It stands as a curious, affectionate nod to one of France’s most enduring comic creations, offering longtime fans a fresh look at the characters’ wartime misadventures.
