Rodolphe Töpffer

Rodolphe Töpffer, a 1996 one-shot from Swiss publisher Slatkine, is a brief but reverent tribute to the 19th-century pioneer widely credited as the father of the modern comic strip. While the series itself is a single issue, its subject matter—the life and legacy of the artist, writer, and educator who created The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck—makes it a notable entry for scholars and fans of comics history.
