Jeannette Pointu is a Belgian comic book series created by Marc Wasterlain, starring the eponymous character.[1] The series appeared in the comic magazine Spirou from 1982 to 2005.[2]

Synopsis

Jeannette is curious and stubborn. Two qualities that serve her well in her job, as she is a photographer and follows the discovery of ancient treasures and scientific developments for her newspaper.[3]

An adventurer who remains feminine in all situations, Jeannette seeks to denounce injustice and misery around the world. She often gets into places where she shouldn't, which gets her into trouble and leads to one twist after another.[4]

Publication history

After that, Mosquito continued the series in French, while Arcadia issued the next two collating albums in Dutch. So far, there were no English translations.
