Les Paparazzi
Dupuis · 1996–2004 · 10 issues
About the series
A satirical French-Belgian series from Dupuis, Les Paparazzi ran for ten issues between 1996 and 2004, skewering celebrity culture and the intrusive media that feeds it. Created by a team best known for its sharp, comedic writing and expressive cartooning, the series follows a pack of relentless photographers chasing scandalous shots of the rich and famous. Its relevance lies in how it presciently captured the growing obsession with tabloid journalism and the absurd lengths to which paparazzi would go, all wrapped in the lighthearted, bande dessinée tradition.
