Canal Choc

In the early 1990s, Les Humanoïdes Associés published Canal Choc, a four-issue series that served as a showcase for boundary-pushing, often provocative short stories and serialized strips. Best remembered for featuring the early work of rising European talents like François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters, the anthology distilled the publisher's signature blend of science fiction, surrealism, and adult-oriented narrative into a compact, impactful run. It matters as a snapshot of a fertile moment in Franco-Belgian comics, where established creators and newcomers alike experimented with form and content in a single, concentrated burst.
