Série 14

Albert Robida’s Série 14, launched by Maison Quantin in 1897 and running for 20 issues, is a singular, visionary French comic series that blends science fiction with satirical social commentary. Written and illustrated entirely by Robida, the series stands as a landmark of early sequential art, offering a prescient glimpse into the 20th century through its imaginative technology and biting wit. Its enduring significance lies in Robida’s role as a pioneer of the bande dessinée, crafting a cohesive, author-driven world decades before the medium’s golden age.
