About the series
In the whimsical, wordless world of Petit Poilu, a tiny, curious boy with a big backpack embarks on gentle, surreal adventures. Published by Dupuis since 2007, this acclaimed all-ages series relies entirely on expressive, cartoonish art to tell its stories, making it accessible to pre-readers and a delight for all. The series is most closely associated with its creator, Pierre Bailly, and colorist Céline Fraipont, whose collaborative work has built a beloved, long-running universe of imaginative, problem-solving journeys. With 31 issues and counting, Petit Poilu stands as a masterclass in visual storytelling, proving that the most profound tales need no words at all.
