Peter Pan

Régis Loisel’s six-issue reimagining of the Peter Pan myth, published by Arboris from 2002 to 2005, is a dark, richly detailed prequel that explores the origins of the boy who wouldn’t grow up. Set in a gritty Victorian London, Loisel’s lush, expressive artwork and mature storytelling strip away the Disneyfied innocence, grounding the tale in poverty, violence, and the harsh realities of childhood. This series stands as a definitive, creator-driven European graphic novel that redefined a classic for an adult audience.
