Naissances de la bande dessinée

Gustave Doré, the famed 19th-century illustrator, is the sole creator of this single-issue comic from Les Impressions Nouvelles, published in 2009. The series explores the very origins of the medium, using Doré's own artwork to examine the birth of comics as a narrative form. It's a unique, scholarly work that turns the artist's historical illustrations into a meditation on sequential storytelling.
