Groucho Marx

Few comic characters arrive with quite this kind of cultural baggage — Groucho Marx steps onto the Dargaud page in 1986, brought to life by the sharp pen of Pétillon in the French album La fin du monde est pour ce soir. Part of a trio that includes his brothers Harpo and Chico, this incarnation of the legendary comedian found a home in the Franco-Belgian comics tradition of the Copper and Modern Age, threading through titles like Dieu n'a pas réponse à tout and Une nuit chez les Marx across more than two decades. It's a delightfully offbeat corner of the medium — Pétillon transplanting one of comedy's most iconic figures into the bande dessinée world — and for collectors who love the unexpected intersections of pop culture and comics history, these three appearances are a genuinely charming curiosity worth seeking out.
