L'Association is a French publishing house which publishes comic books. It was founded in May 1990 by Jean-Christophe Menu, Lewis Trondheim, David B., Mattt Konture, Patrice Killoffer, Stanislas, and Mokeït, who left soon thereafter. Currently, of the original founding members, only Menu and Konture continue to be affiliated with the company.

L'Association was one of the most important publishers to come out of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics in the 1990s, and remains highly regarded, being among the first to publish authors such as Joann Sfar and Marjane Satrapi.^{[citation needed]}

Lapin is the group's magazine, which showcases many talents from the European alternative scene.

One of L'Association's most distinctive works is the seminal black-and-white anthology Comix 2000 which features work from over 300 creators from 29 countries in one 2,000-page hardcover volume.

History

David B. left L'Association in the Spring of 2005; Lewis Trondheim left in the Autumn of 2006, followed shortly after by Stanislas and Killoffer. At that point, L'Association's "editorial board" was dissolved, since it was originally composed of the company's founders.
