Philemon is a series that has marked the history of the modern franco-belgian comic, all thanks to the bold talent of its author. In celebration of the 50 year anniversary since the conception of the character, we’re releasing an art book uniting all of Fred’s Philemonrelated creations. The book includes various rare or previously unpublished documents (such as the story board for Naufragé du A), as well as several testimonies from icons of the francophone comic world and elsewhere. This work pays hommage to an unforgettable author.
