History
The work started out as a comic strip, which initially ran in the Belgian magazine Le Moustique between 1956 and 1958, drawn by Sempé and written by Goscinny. The series was quick to draw attention.
A few years later Goscinny began to write Le Petit Nicolas in short story form, with illustrations by Sempé. The first Nicolas story, L’œuf de Pâques, was published 29 March 1959 in the journal Sud-Ouest Dimanche.
The authors hadn't initially planned to continue the series but the sudden popularity of the comic kept them going. Thus, they continued to publish the comics in Sud-Ouest and Pilote until 1965.[1]
