Michèle Roman

Michèle Roman stepped onto the page in 2003 as part of Une demi-douzaine d'elles, a Modern Age work from the celebrated French indie publisher L'Association, brought to life by the creative duo Anne Baraou and Fanny Dalle-Rive. She's one of a vivid ensemble — sharing her world with the likes of Suzie Bébé, Ugoline Saine, Véra Haine, Armelle Naïve, and Paula Polie — a cast whose names alone hint at a comic with real wit and personality to spare. Though her catalog footprint is intimate, that's very much in keeping with L'Association's spirit of thoughtful, artistically ambitious storytelling far from the mainstream. For fans who love European comics with genuine creative voice, Michèle Roman is a character worth seeking out.
