Le Dessableur - A Comic Book Laboratory
In 2021, the Comic Art Museum launched Le Dessableur, a bilingual journal devoted to the history and study of comics. The title was inspired by “Rue des Sables,” the street where the museum is located.
Conceived as a complement to the museum’s exhibitions, the journal explores themes that would not easily fit within traditional scenography. Each issue takes a closer look at specific aspects of comics—speech balloons, cutaway views, collage, subjective viewpoints, photo comics, silent comics, and autobiographical comics—offering new ways to look at the comic book artform.
The journal places great importance on publishing original content by commissioning covers from contemporary artists, presenting previously unpublished comic strips and pages, and developing its own drawn reportages. Le Dessableur serves not only as a platform for art analysis but also a space for artistic creation and experimentation.
In just five years and nearly twenty issues, Le Dessableur has established itself as a prolific laboratory where research, history and artistic practice meet.
