This exhibition highlights the work of four authors, who have marked the evolution of comic strips with their graphic audacity and evolving histories, so that they were no longer aimed at children. These four authors, Guido Crepas, Paul Cuvelier, Jean-Claude Forest and Guy Peellaert - were inspired by painting, animated films, cinema, music, literature and photography. Their work represents the 60s, a time with many changes.
