Poulbots: De straatkinderen van Montmartre

Set in the bohemian heart of early 20th-century Paris, Poulbots: De straatkinderen van Montmartre is a 2023 graphic novel from Daedalus that follows the scrappy street children of Montmartre. Written by Frank Vanzeer and brought to life by the evocative art of Patrick Prugne (who also co-writes), this single-issue story captures the gritty charm and resilient spirit of the era's forgotten youth. It matters as a lovingly crafted, historically atmospheric snapshot of a specific time and place, showcasing Prugne's ability to blend documentary detail with a tender, human story.
