Mr. Jean: Free Comic Book Day Special

A Free Comic Book Day special from Drawn & Quarterly, this single issue spotlights the beloved French series Monsieur Jean by the duo Philippe Dupuy and Charles Berberian, with translation by Helge Dascher. The strip follows the daily life, romantic misadventures, and creative struggles of a young writer in Paris, rendered in Berberian's warm, expressive linework. Its inclusion in FCBD introduced English-language readers to a key work of European bande dessinée, celebrated for its gentle humor and keen observation of urban life.
