Article Summary
- John Bemelmans Marciano launches a new Madeline graphic novel set in Nazi-occupied France.
- Madeline joins child Resistance fighters in the Paris underground in this bold reimagining.

John Bemelmans Marciano is the grandson of Ludwig Bemelmans, author of the original Madeline books, which follow the daily adventures of Madeline, a seven-year-old girl attending a boarding school in Paris with eleven other girls, under the care of their teacher, Miss Clavel. The first book was published in 1939 and proved to be a success, so Bemelmans wrote many sequels in the 1940s and 1950s. The series was continued by Bemelmans' grandson, John Bemelmans Marciano, and has sold many millions and spawned a film, a short film, and an animated series.
John Bemelmans Marciano has written and illustrated sequels such as Madeline and the Cats of Rome, Merci: The Always-Be-Polite Book, Madeline's Tea Party, Madeline at the White House and more, as well as The Witches of Benevento series. But now he has sold rights to the first as-yet-untitled Madeline graphic novel, in which Madeline finds refuge in the Paris underground with a gang of child thieves-turned-Resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied France, to be drawn by the Eisner-nominated husband and wife team of LeUyen Pham and Alex Puvilland.
Tamar Brazis at Viking Children's Press has bought world rights to the graphic novel, to be published in 2027. John Bemelmans Marciano's agent, Jill Grinberg at Jill Grinberg Literary Management, LeUyen Pham's agent, Holly McGhee at Pippin Properties and Alex Puvilland's agent, Judy Hansen at Hansen Literary, negotiated the sale.
