Pilote’s unique position in a new and fast developing
youth press market
The French comic magazine Pilote
hebdomadaire arrived in a
weakening comics market in 1959 largely dominated by syndicated translations of
American comics and comics inspired by a Catholic ethos. It tailored its
content and tone to an older adolescent reader far removed from that of
France’s infant comic. Pilote’s
profile set it on a turbulent course subject to the vicissitudes and fickleness
of fashion which situated it within an emerging teenager press under pressure
to renew and innovate to survive. When it made cartoons its defining
characteristic in 1963, Pilote
articulated its uniqueness by channelling teenager discourse through them
whilst also trying to encourage a zest for education in a modernising and
economically buoyant France of exciting new opportunities. Pilote’s cartoon art thus became a dynamic repository for the ideas
and attitudes of France’s educated youth which evolved into the radical
discourses of the lifestyle and political revolutions of the late 1960s and
early 1970s.
This book tells how Pilote hebdomadaire’s
unique positioning in a new and fast developing youth press market for
teenagers provided the forum and catalyst for the bande dessinée’s stylistic evolution over the course of the 1960s
and 1970s.
