Nantes cartoonist Neyef reworks Peter Pan as a grunge fable
In an interview with Le Monde, the graphic novelist discusses « Les Enfants perdus », which transplants six young heroes into a decrepit, hostile world ruled by unsettling adults.
Neyef, a Nantes-based bédéaste, spoke to Le Monde about his new album « Les Enfants perdus », which takes the myth of Peter Pan and recasts it in a grunge register. According to the newspaper, the book follows six young protagonists thrown into a hostile, run-down territory populated by threatening adult figures.
The interview, titled « Je me sens attiré par les gens en marge » ("I feel drawn to people on the margins"), situates the work within Neyef's broader interest in outsiders and marginal figures, a theme Le Monde frames as running through his approach to the Peter Pan material.
Beyond these details, the source material does not provide further specifics on plot, publisher or release date for « Les Enfants perdus ».
