About the series
In this two-issue series from Editions Paquet SARL, the Napoleonic Wars are reimagined through the lens of military comedy, following the misadventures of a bumbling French general whose incompetence somehow never leads to disaster. Published in the mid-2000s, Général Leonardo is a lighthearted, character-driven romp rather than a historical epic, with artist and writer teaming up to deliver a brisk, visually playful satire of military hierarchy and battlefield chaos. While brief, the series stands as a charming oddity in European historical comics, offering a humorous counterpoint to more serious treatments of the era.
