Abstract

This article proposes to focus on the phenomenon of series in the field of children’s comics, taking as a starting point the Marion Duval series which, due to its longevity, occupies a special place in the work of Yvan Pommaux. Based on the reception of the series by readers talking about their reception mainly online, the aim is to understand this publishing phenomenon and to show how the series builds around the heroine a fictional world that is both anchored in reality and open to the most unbelievable adventures. This analysis allows a transversal look at the emblematic influence of comics and serial creation in an author’s work that is both very diverse and very organic.
