Victor Billetdoux

A distinctly French creation born in the pages of Circus in 1976, Victor Billetdoux stepped onto the Bronze Age comics scene courtesy of the singular imagination of F'Murr, the cartoonist already beloved for his offbeat sensibility. Published by Glénat through the early 1980s, this character earned his own eponymous series — a sure sign that readers found something worth following in his particular corner of the Franco-Belgian tradition. With a modest but devoted footprint in the catalog, Victor Billetdoux is a rewarding discovery for collectors with a taste for the quirkier, more personal voices that made the European comics of that era so wonderfully distinct from anything else on the stands.
