Pegg was first originally serialized in Spirou's magazine in 1960 and 1961. Simultaneously, Pat
Mallet created Xing
& Xot for Spirou's
Mini-Récit inserts, a 2-1/2 x 3-1/2"
pull-out supplement, stapled inside the magazine, which, properly folded and cut, asembled into a mini comic-book.
(Also see Tom Bolah.)
After two stories, Pegg eventually migrated
to the Mini-Récits as well. The
two series crossed over in Cosmos Fleuri,
the last story. Neither series was collected in the graphic novel format. Coffre-a-BD is reprinting the Pegg
and Xing & Xot
stories.
