Les voyages de Takuan

Serge Le Tendre and Emiliano Simeoni’s Les voyages de Takuan, launched in 1987 by Dargaud, follows the philosophical journeys of a wandering monk through a single, contemplative issue. The series distills a meditative, episodic approach to historical adventure, with Simeoni’s art grounding Le Tendre’s reflective storytelling. It stands as a quiet, understated entry in European graphic literature, notable for its focused exploration of a solitary traveler’s inner world.
