Joséphine #1

Pénélope Bagieu's Joséphine arrives with a cover that perfectly sets the tone — a gangly, wide-eyed young woman in glasses flashes an endearingly goofy grin while striking an awkward pose, all rendered in Bagieu's loose, charming ligne claire style. Published by Jean-Claude Gawsewitch Éditeur in 2008, this French bande dessinée introduces readers to a heroine who radiates relatable, self-conscious energy right from the first glance. If you're in the mood for something warm, witty, and drawn with genuine personality, Joséphine looks like exactly the right company.
