Description

Journey back to where it all began for award-winning French cartoonist Boulet’s world-renowned cartoon blog, Boulet’s Notes in this hardcover collection showcasing the best of the early years.

For 20 years, the award-winning French cartoonist Boulet (Dungeon, Bea Wolf) has kept an online diary. Drawn in a range of styles and posted online for an international audience, these wild and wooly Notes run the gamut from the ridiculous to the sublime. Facing everything from over-eager comic book fans to mutant leftovers and his own quirky idiosyncrasies, Boulet boldly confronts dangers and frustrations both real and imagined wherever he goes, from the skyscrapers of Seoul to the jungles of Cameroon and back to the streets of Paris!

Full of wry observational humor, cringe-worthy tales, and wild flights of fancy that know no bounds, this selection of the best comics from the early years of Boulet’s Notes is the perfect introduction to the raw creativity of one of France’s great cartoonists.

“Undoubtedly one of the most inspired and inventive writers and artists in comics today…” —Comics Alliance
