Les Ripoupons

From 2003 to 2007, Bamboo Édition published Les Ripoupons, a six-issue French comic series that turns the classic nursery rhyme world on its head. Written and drawn by a team that included Jean-Louis Fonteneau and Jean-Marc Lainé, the series reimagines beloved childhood characters as corrupt, cynical adults navigating a gritty, noir-tinged universe. Its darkly satirical premise and subversive humor made it a cult favorite among readers looking for a twisted take on nostalgic icons.
