Pleasantly Disturbed

Pleasantly Disturbed is a three-issue comic series from 1996–1997, published by La Comédie Illustrée. Written primarily by A. C. W. Van Kruining, Jean-Paul Jennequin, and Jean-Philippe Peyraud—the latter also providing the art—this short-lived title offers a glimpse into the French small-press scene's offbeat sensibility. Its brief run captures an era of experimental, creator-driven storytelling that prioritizes mood and strangeness over mainstream narrative.
