L'Étroit Mousquetaire

Published in 1961 in the collection Les Belles Histoires de Tonton Jacques, L’Étroit mousquetaire, scripted by Marijac and illustrated by Jean Trubert, offers a humorous retelling of Dumas’ famous musketeers. With its parodic narrative and caricatured characters, this comic strip blends adventure and burlesque situations, transporting readers into an offbeat atmosphere where the heroes’ panache becomes a source of comedy.

Renowned for its light tone and expressive drawing, this work illustrates the talent of Trubert, known for his work in the children’s press and his accessible approach to the adventure genre. Adapted for a young audience, this comic strip retains the epic spirit while paying mocking homage to the mythical Musketeers.
