Professor Bell

Professor Bell, a French comic series launched in 2005 by publisher TOOG, follows the scholarly adventures of its titular character in a whimsical, historically flavored world. Written primarily by Joann Sfar and Pieter van Oudheusden, with art by Hervé Tanquerelle, the series blends erudition with lighthearted fantasy across its four-issue run. Its charm lies in Tanquerelle’s expressive, cartoonish visuals and the writers’ knack for weaving academic curiosity into playful storytelling.
