Marine Sex

Born from the creative partnership of Anne Baraou and Fanny Dalle-Rive, Marine Sex made her debut in the pages of Une demi-douzaine d'elles #2 in 2003, emerging from the vibrant independent comics scene of the Modern Age under the celebrated French publisher L'Association. She's one of a distinctive ensemble — sharing her world with characters like Michèle Roman, Suzie Bébé, Ugoline Saine, Véra Haine, and Armelle Naïve — and that richly named cast alone hints at a series with personality and wit to spare. Though her catalog footprint is intimate, running through the mid-2000s, she belongs to exactly the kind of thoughtful, auteur-driven comics that L'Association built its reputation on. For readers who love discovering the gems of Franco-Belgian independent publishing, Une demi-douzaine d'elles is a series worth seeking out.
