Charly

Charly, published by Dupuis from 1991 to 2007, is a French-Belgian comic series spanning 13 issues that follows the adventures of its titular young protagonist. Most frequently written by Denis Lapière and illustrated by a rotating team including Magda, Bertrand Marchal, and Didier Courtois, the series is a warm, character-driven exploration of childhood and growing up. Its modest but consistent run makes it a quietly beloved example of slice-of-life storytelling in the European bande dessinée tradition.
