Treize étrange

Treize étrange is a French comic book publisher and label, founded in 1994 as an association by Frédéric Mangé. It emerged during a wave of independent comics labels that followed the example of L'Association, aiming to offer readers a different kind of bande dessinée. While less experimental than many of its contemporaries, Treize étrange deliberately positioned itself as an "independent label for all audiences," publishing accessible yet author-driven comics. The label attracted a roster of authors who would become its pillars—including Brüno, Christian Cailleaux, Pascal Jousselin, Nicolas Juncker, and Jean-Philippe Peyraud—many of whom later achieved wider recognition. After a period under Milan Presse, Treize étrange was integrated into the Glénat group in 2008. Since then it has continued as a collection within Glénat BD, publishing new titles and reissues. Its catalogue spans historical comics, adventure, western, detective stories, and graphic novels, with recent and forthcoming titles such as Malet by Nicolas Juncker, Avila by Stefano Turconi and Teresa Radice, and L'île au poulailler by Laureline Mattiussi. The label remains active under the Glénat umbrella, maintaining its identity as a curated line of independent-spirited comics.

Treize étrange was founded in 1994 as an association by Frédéric Mangé. It appeared in the context of a broader movement of independent comics labels that emerged in the wake of L'Association, seeking to offer the public a different kind of bande dessinée. While its editorial line was less experimental than most "indie" publishers of the time, Treize étrange consistently aimed at accessible comics and was quickly described as an "independent label for all audiences." Many authors driven by the same demands—including Brüno, Cailleaux, Jousselin, Juncker, and Peyraud—joined the label and became its pillars before achieving the careers they are known for today. At some point the label passed through Milan Presse before being integrated into the Glénat group in 2008. Since then, it has continued to publish notable works as a collection within Glénat BD. The collection remains active, with recent and forthcoming titles such as Malet by Nicolas Juncker (new colour edition, 2024), Avila by Stefano Turconi and Teresa Radice (2026), L'île au poulailler by Laureline Mattiussi (2026), and Achab by Patrick Mallet (2025).
