Simplismus

A single, self-contained issue from 1995, Simplismus is a founding work of the French alternative comics movement published by L'Association. Created by Lewis Trondheim, it exemplifies the era's minimalist, gag-driven approach, distilling complex narratives into deceptively simple, expressive linework. Its significance lies in how it helped define the aesthetic and storytelling philosophy of the emerging "nouvelle bande dessinée" scene.
