Lucien

In this brief, two-issue French comic series from 1987–1988, published by Le Livre de poche, Lucien follows the surreal, deadpan adventures of its eponymous antihero through a world of mundane absurdity. Created by the Belgian cartoonist Frank Pé, the series is a quiet, melancholic gem of European bande dessinée, known for its delicate linework and offbeat humor. Though short-lived, Lucien remains a cult favorite for its tender, wordless storytelling and its influence on the slice-of-life genre in comics.
