Rencontres

In the mid-1960s, French publisher Edi-Europ launched Rencontres, a 24-issue series that blended painted covers with photographic interior art, creating a distinctive visual identity. The series ran from 1964 to 1966, offering a unique snapshot of European comics experimentation during a period of creative transition. While the specific artists remain unattributed, the series stands as a curious artifact of its era, reflecting the publisher's willingness to mix media in a pre-bande dessinée boom market. Its brief lifespan captures a moment when comics were still finding their footing between pulp tradition and artistic ambition.
