Nicolas et la mer

In this brief, two-issue series from the small French publisher Cerises & Coquelicots, readers follow Nicolas as he explores a seaside world of quiet discovery and gentle adventure. Published in 2014–2015, the comic is a tender, slice-of-life story that captures the mood of a coastal childhood. While the series is short, it stands as a charming example of the intimate, character-driven storytelling found in independent European comics of the era.
