L'Écho des Savanes
L'Écho des Savanes is a French comic magazine for adults.
The magazine was founded in 1972 by the former Pilote illustrators Marcel Gotlieb , Nikita Mandryka and Claire Bretécher . The founding was preceded by a falling out between the illustrators and Pilote editor-in-chief René Goscinny . He rejected, for example, the publication of an episode of the series Concombre Masqué by Nikita Mandryka.

While only the works of the three founders were to be found in the first editions, further artists, including from abroad, were added from 1974. From 1976 the magazine appeared monthly. It became the first successful spin-off from Pilote . He was followed in 1975 by the magazine Métal Hurlant , which was also founded by former Pilote artists. In the same year Marcel Gotlieb left L'Écho des Savanes and founded Fluide Glacial .
After the French comic magazines fell into crisis in the 1980s, L'Écho des Savanes only published a few comics between slippery photo stories , according to Andreas C. Knigge . In 2006 the regular edition was finished, from 2008 the publisher Glénat published monthly, since 2011 new editions every two months.
