Max

Max is a singular, wordless comic series from the French publisher L'école des loisirs, launched in 1978 and continuing to this day. Created entirely by the Swiss artist Luigi Pericle Giovannetti, it follows the quiet, surreal adventures of a small, anthropomorphic dog through richly detailed, whimsical landscapes. With no dialogue or captions, the series relies on Giovannetti's expressive, intricate art to tell stories of gentle humor and everyday wonder. This long-running, single-issue format stands as a unique, meditative contribution to European comics.
