Aya of Yop City is a series written by Marguerite Abouet and drawn by her husband, Clément Oubrerie. The original French albums were published by Gallimard between 2005 and 2010. All six volumes have been translated into English by Drawn & Quarterly. Although not entirely autobiographical, the story is based on the author's life in Côte d'Ivoire. The authors adapted it for an animated film of the same title, which was released in 2013.
