Les Shadoks

The French publisher Hoëbeke launched Les Shadoks as a comic series in 2018, adapting the famously absurd, minimalist 1960s animated television show into a single-issue graphic album. Known for its surreal humor and distinctive, bird-like characters who embody a philosophy of pointless, repetitive action, the series preserves the original's satirical edge. While the TV series was the work of Jacques Rouxel, this comic iteration brings the cult classic to a new print audience, capturing its timeless, deadpan nonsense. Its single published issue stands as a concise, faithful tribute to one of French animation's most iconic and bizarre creations.
