Tourista

Claire Bretécher, one of the most celebrated figures in French bande dessinée, launched Tourista in 1989 through her own publishing imprint, Editions Claire Bretécher. A single-issue comic, it showcases her trademark sharp, satirical humor and distinctive, expressive linework as she turns her keen eye on the absurdities of modern life. Though brief, the series stands as a quintessential example of Bretécher's ability to skewer social pretensions with wit and psychological insight.
