| Summary: | While Pilote is often seen as a key player in the modernisation of French-language comics, this article examines the early years of its publication from the point of view of its media identity. Illustrated magazines for young people in the 1950s and 1960s were hybrid, composite objects, containing stories, reports and games, of which comics were only one part. The history of Pilote bears witness to the gradual construction of a media identity centered on comics. Initially created as an educational journal for young people, Pilote experimented with celebrity tabloid and news magazines, before gradually focusing on comics. In its early days, it lacked a clear media identity, making it particularly important to explicit its editorial identity and to dialogue with its readership. An examination of the letter column, and the various forms of interactions with the readers, sheds light on the way illustrated magazines built their media identity. |
