Les Aventures de M. Beaucoq, ex-rosier de la commune de Nanterre

Amédée de Noé, under the pen name Cham, launched this single-issue French comic in 1856 through Arnauld de Vresse. It follows the misadventures of M. Beaucoq, a former rose-grower from Nanterre, in a satirical slice of mid-19th-century life. Though brief, the work stands as an early example of Cham's sharp, sequential humor—a precursor to the bande dessinée tradition.
