Book Description

A Pop Art classic from the 1960s, The Adventures of Jodelle (written by Pierre Bartier) is a very early adult graphic novel from the legendary French comics publisher Eric Losfeld. The Adventures of Jodelle is a satirical spy adventure set in an Asterix-style anachronistic Cesarepoch fantasy Rome featuring both billboards and vampires. It melds the bold compositional skills of a top pop-art-era draftsman with a unique sensitivity to the comics medium, and was published in English in 1967 by Grove Press, whose epic editor-in-chief Richard Seaver also provided the translation.
