The Park Bench (French: Un peu de bois et d'acier, lit. 'A Little Bit of Wood and Steel') is a 2012 French comic book by Christophe Chabouté. It centres on a park bench and shows fragments of the lives of the people who pass by it. It is in black-and-white and almost entirely without text.[1][2][3]
ActuaBD called it "a true tale of the ordinary" where "Chabouté infuses these banal or extravagant encounters with a touch of magic".[1]
It was the basis for the French 45-minute film A Little Bit of Wood and Steel directed by Antoine Laurens, which was released in 2014.[4]
