Parodie des Misérables de Victor Hugo

Jules Baric wrote and drew this two-issue French comic from Arnauld de Vresse, a playful 1862–present parody of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. It’s an early, affectionate spoof that reimagines the epic novel’s characters and drama in comic form. Baric’s work stands as a charming artifact of 19th-century graphic humor, showing how even the most monumental stories were ripe for a lighthearted twist.
