Série 18

A short-lived but visually distinctive French comic series, Série 18 ran for 20 issues between 1902 and 1904 under the Maison Quantin banner. The series was most frequently written and illustrated by the duo of A. Bess and Benjamin Rabier, with Rabier later becoming a celebrated figure in French cartooning. Its brief run offers an early, charming glimpse into the turn-of-the-century humor and illustration style that would influence generations of European comics.
