French ONLY graphic novels for french immersion (bandes dessinées)

Like many elementary students, French immersion students enjoy reading bandes dessinées.  So a strategy I am trying in my library is to buy some of the series ONLY in French.  This makes students who are weaker readers, or those that prefer bandes dessinées to read in French.  The intent is to support the school's goal of French immersion through practice in French and development of French vocabulary.

My school is a single track school, so using this strategy I have bought some graphic novel series only in French.
The following list includes a few newer series that I have found that currently are in French only and not English:

L'agent Jean! (Alex, A.) Fun story about a "Moose" who is a spy, immersion grades 4-6.

Series Geo - (Beka) 3 titles, explores parts of the world in stories, immersion grades 6-7
Leon, (Groovie A.)  story of a goofy Cyclops and his friends. grades 5-9.
Monster Allergy (Centomo, Artiani, Nardo, translated from Italian),  a boy who is allergic to monsters, immersion grades 6-9.
Non-fiction animal series (Massa, R.) e.g.  les reptiles, les amphibiens (more titles) non-fiction series on animal families, grades 5-7.

The classics (French):

•  Barbapapa (Tison, A) Colourful blobs that have adventures and learn about things, grades 2-3. (French only I think)
• Tintin, (Herge) adventures of a boy sleuth and his dog, in most languages, grades 4-10, (avoid the racist first one in this series)
• Asterix,  (Goscinny, R.) adventures of 3 Gaul's, in times of Roman conquest, grades 5 - 10
• Lou  (Neel, J.) story of a girl who's mother is a "hippie" writer and she has a younger brother,  grades 5-7
• Lucky Luke (Morris or Goscinny) cowboy adventures,  grade 4-7

I have also bought the following graphic novels only in French: Amulet, Sardine, and Nate.   (If students really want to read these books in English they can borrow them from the public library.)  I have an advantage since I am in a newer school, and I do not have a large English graphic novel collection, so I have been able to buy series in French that my school doesn't have in English. The challenge is when new graphic novel series come out, e.g.  Raven Tales (Kientz, C.), Smile (Telgemeier, R.) and Squish (Holm, J.).  I do not know if or when, they will be translated so I have bought them for my library in English.  I do have some graphic novels  in both English and French.  I think in the longer term, when the English version of a translated series is worn out I will not replace it. 

Tintin et Milou

However if you are a dual track school this strategy of purchasing common graphic novel series in French only, would not serve your school population appropriately.   For dual track schools I suggest you consider purchasing a couple of graphic novels that are only published in French, then your French immersion students have a unique graphic novel series to choose., and it supports development of their french language vocabulary. 

Leave a comment if you have any other suggestions of good French graphic novels for elementary schools.
