Le périodique

A five-issue series published by Ego comme X between 1999 and 2002, Le périodique is a French comics anthology that showcases a rotating roster of creators, with a particular focus on the work of writer and artist Lewis Trondheim. The series collects short, self-contained stories that range from absurdist humor to introspective character studies, reflecting the experimental spirit of the independent French comics scene at the turn of the millennium. Its significance lies in its role as a platform for Trondheim’s distinctive, minimalist storytelling style, offering readers a concentrated dose of his playful yet poignant narratives.
