About the series
The 1867 French comic Voyage d’un âne dans la planète Mars is a single-issue, pioneering work from publisher Excoffier, best known for the artwork of Gabriel Liquier. It stands as one of the earliest known comic narratives to depict a journey to Mars, predating most space-adventure strips by decades. While only one issue was published, its whimsical premise—a donkey traveling to the red planet—marks it as a curious and historically significant artifact of 19th-century speculative fiction in comics.
