The first French association dedicated to the study of comics was "[[Le Club des bandes dessinées]]" (French for "The Club of Comics")''. The club was founded March 29, 1962, born from a discussion held in 1961-1962 in issues 90-98 of the magazine "Fiction".

History

The first French association dedicated to the study of comics was "Le Club des bandes dessinées" (French for "The Club of Comics"). The club was founded March 29, 1962, born from a discussion held in 1961-1962 in issues 90-98 of the magazine "Fiction". The first board consisted of: Francis Lacassin (président), Alain Resnais (vice-président), Guy Bonnemaison (vice-président), Alain Doremieux (secrétaire général), Jacques Champreux (trésorier), Maurice Zimmerman (secrétaire adjoint), Jean-Claude Forest (directaur artistique), Pierre Couperie (archiviste), Jean Francois Theveon (conseiller) and Henri Grelardon (conseiller).

In 1964 the Club was renamed the "Centre d'études des littératures d'expression graphique" (CÉLEG or "Center for Studies of Graphic Literary Expression").

At June 9, 1964, Alain Resnais was in New York and made an interview with Lee Falk for Giff-Wiff #12 and invited Lee Falk to Bordighera.

In February 1965, with the Italian "l'Instituto di scienza della communicazioni di massa", CÉLEG organized the first "International Exhibition of Comics" ("Salone internazionale dei Comics") in Bordighera. This Comics Convention was dedicated to the memory of Phil Davis and headed by the legendary Professor Luigi Volpicelli. The congress (the 21st and 22th) was attended by eminent culture personalities such as Alain Resnais, Federico Fellini, Umberto Eco, Alberto Giordano, Evelyne Sullerot, Roberto Giammanco, Fausto Antonini, Francis Lacassin and a court of fans. Among the comic artist were Lee Falk, Al Capp, David Pascal and Alfred Andriola. In September 1966, CÉLEG organized the second edition in Lucca.

Also to note that, at the time, Lee Falk becomes member of the CÉLEG.

In 1966 Claude Moliterni and Pierre Couperie broke away from CÉLEG to form the La Société civile d'étude et de recherche des littératures dessinées ("Socerlid"), and to produce the review "Phénix".

Due to financial problems, among other things, the CÉLEG was closed down in 1967. According to a rumor overthrown by Francis Groux, the money had been used by Alain Resnais to fund an American tour to work with a movie adaptation of Mandrake the Magician.
