Monsieur Jean - Volume 3: Women and children first. DUPUY ~ BERBERIAN Monsieur Jean - Tome 3: Les femmes et les enfants d'abord. Les Humanoïdes Associés, 1996. In-4 hardback, covers illustrated in color. 1996 reprint (legal deposit January) of this third opus in the cult series created by Philippe Dupuy and Charles Berberian. In it, Monsieur Jean, a young Parisian writer, continues his melancholy and funny wanderings through an urban daily routine of sentimental doubts, unlikely encounters and bittersweet reflections on the passage to adulthood. The Dupuy-Berberian duo's elegant, deceptively casual style has made Monsieur Jean one of the most emblematic series of the "new comics" of the '90s. With rare finesse, the album captures the zeitgeist and ordinary neuroses of a generation, while retaining a graphic poetry that remains highly modern to this day. Justification page : First edition: November 1994. Legal deposit: January 1996. Printed in December 1995 by Imprimerie Fournié, France. ISBN 2 73160 171 7. Colors: Dupuy-Berberian, Claude Legris and Véronique Grisseaux. Copy in good condition. Sturdy boards, boards well preserved despite slight handling marks on spine and edges. Interior very fresh, complete and without annotations. On the second cover, a presentation of the first three volumes of the series and a tasty quote from Monsieur Jean's father. A major title for fans of urban chronicles and contemporary ligne claire.
