Les Rois du Rire

A lively French humor series from Éditions Vaillant, Les Rois du Rire ran for 19 issues between 1976 and 1980, offering a showcase of gag comics and lighthearted cartooning. The series gathered a rotating cast of the publisher's top comedic talents, delivering quick-witted, slapstick, and absurdist strips aimed at a broad audience. Though a relatively brief run, it stands as a snapshot of Vaillant's post-Pif Gadget era, preserving the playful, anarchic spirit of French bande dessinée comedy.
