Panda

In the late 1950s, French publisher Arédit-Artima launched Panda, a short-lived comic series that ran for 18 issues from 1957 to 1959. Featuring original European adventure and humor strips, the title showcased the work of local talents rather than licensed imports. Though brief, Panda offers a snapshot of the mid-century French comics landscape, reflecting the era's shift toward homegrown material in a market then dominated by translated American stories.
