Petit patayo
A lianhuanhua collection to carry everywhere in your pockets
One image per page, the dimensions of a notebook that accompanies and that we collect, these singular books with contemporary stories are based on a comic tradition followed by more than a billion readers. This is China, from the 1950s to the 1990s. In their search for the extraordinary in the ordinary, our authors, from France and else where, go wild in 92 boxes for their first work published in France. Made with care, in France.
