Theoretical approaches to comics and examples of literary reading, through the popular works of the screenwriter Goscinny.

Childish and youthful madness and obsession, comics have grown up with their audience. Today they have officially found their place on the shelves of bookstores and libraries. They have even reached the school desks. Among the most beloved heroes, Lucky Luke, Asterix, and Iznogoud have followed the same path, accompanying older and younger generations.

This book was written with nostalgia for the past and the belief that comics have a lot to offer in today's multicultural, diverse world of new technologies and images. Fans of the Ninth Art, students, educators, and researchers will find in this volume initially theoretical approaches to comics and then examples of literary reading, through the popular works of the screenwriter Goscinny with the illustrators Morris, Uderzo, and Tabary.

Finally, with a series of worksheets, comics are also proposed to students as a teaching tool, combining reading enjoyment with a more substantial acquaintance.
