Mimodrames

In Mimodrames, the French publisher Actes Sud presents a single-issue comic from 2012 that collects the wordless, slapstick vignettes of British cartoonist H. M. Bateman. Known for his sharp, silent visual gags, Bateman’s work here showcases his mastery of physical comedy and expressive linework, offering a timeless glimpse into early 20th-century humor. Though brief, this volume serves as a curated introduction to Bateman’s influential style for a modern audience.
