About the series
Carmen Cru, published by J'ai lu from 1987 to 1991, is a five-issue French comic series centered on its irascible, elderly title character. Created by writer and artist Jean-Marc Lelong, the strip follows the daily misadventures of a cantankerous old woman navigating modern life with a sharp tongue and unapologetic stubbornness. Its blend of deadpan humor and unsentimental realism made it a distinctive, quietly influential work in the European humor comics landscape.
