Repenser l’album à l’ère du multimédia (1995-1998) : reconfigurer la bande-dessinée pour le CD-ROM

Abstract

This paper intends to study the adaptation of printed albums for the CD-ROM support in France during the 1990s. As an evidence of the first incursions of printed comics into digital publishing and composed of less than ten titles, the corpus studied nevertheless reveals a new situation in the editorial context in which it appeared. By situating these objects at the crossroads of upheavals in the editorial landscape of comics and books in general, at a time when entertainment computing is being democratized, this study aims to show how these marginal publications testify to and announce a disruption of the media identity of comic, at the crossroads of the symbolic influence of the album and the formal issues involved in publishing on an innovative support.
