Cosinus

Though it ran for only two issues in 1950, Cosinus is a curious early artifact from French publisher Arédit-Artima, known for its eclectic mix of adventure and humor. Created during the post-war boom in European comics, the series is most associated with the inventive, cartoonish style of its artist and writer, who brought a playful, slightly surreal tone to the short-lived title. While its brevity makes it a footnote, Cosinus offers a snapshot of the era's experimentation in the French comic market.
