An Introduction to French Comics
Lucky Luke is one of French-language comics’ most enduring characters. (Art by Luke Atkinson)
Some fantastic material has come out of the French-speaking world, but it remains largely unknown in the United States. This class will highlight the past 150 years of French-language comics, including the works of Rodolphe Töpffer, Hergé, René Goscinny, Moebius, and Lewis Trondheim — some of which are available in English. You’ll depart with a road map for exploring this fascinating comics culture.
Knowledge of French is not required.
This class is presented in partnership with Petworth Citizen & Reading Room.
