In the memorable Larousse edition L'Histoire de France en bandes dessin�es, first published between 1976-1978 and republished in 2008, the life and times of Marot are of course prominently represented. His employer was the King of France en Marot not only witnessed the events but was (took) part of (in) it.

Couverture de Histoire de France en bandes dessin�es -11- Les d�couvertes, la R�formeIn vol. 11 a more general picture is drawn of the early French Reformation (l'Evangelisme) including Lef�vre d'Etaple's participation in the Reform of Bisshop Bri�onnet in the diocese of Meaux. The two images are also reproduced below.
