Coq Hardi je serai

A short-lived but spirited series from Éditions de Montsouris, Coq Hardi je serai ran for 16 issues in the mid-1950s. The title, translating to "I will be a bold rooster," hints at the plucky, adventurous tone of the stories within. This French comic is a minor but charming artifact of the era's robust periodical market, showcasing the kind of self-contained, serialized adventure that filled newsstands before the rise of the modern album format.
