Career
In 2001, she graduated and created the series Nini Patalo in the magazine Tchô!, and in the monthly Capsule cosmique, she imagined the character dʼEddy Milveux.{{cite web |title=Lisa Mandel |url=https://www.lambiek.net/artists/l/lisa.htm |website=Lambiek |access-date=1 April 2023 |language=en}} These are her two youth series.

Since 2010, Nini Patalo is adapted into an animated series by the animation studio Je suis bien content and is broadcast on channels such as France 3 or Canal J.
In the creation of {{lang|fr|Esthétique et filatures}}, Mandel collaborated with Tanxxx in the drawing, and in 2009, the authors received the Prix Artémisia for women's comics,{{cite web |title=Le prix Artémisia de la bande dessinée féminine 2009 |publisher=BDZoom |url=http://bdzoom.com/5673/actualites/le-prix-artemisia-de-la-bande-dessinee-feminine-2009/ |access-date=2 April 2023 |language=fr-FR |date=9 January 2009}} and also the Prix de la meilleure BD adaptable au cinéma et à la télévision at the {{lang|fr|Forum international cinéma et écritures de Monaco|italics=no}}.{{cite web |title=FORUM INTERNATIONAL CINEMA ET LITTERATURE -MONAC0 - IN THE MOOD FOR CINEMA |url=http://www.inthemoodforcinema.com/forum-international-cinema-et-litterature-de-monac/ |website=www.inthemoodforcinema.com |access-date=2 April 2023 |language=fr |date=25 March 2009}} The album was in the official selection of the 2009 Angoulême International Comics Festival.
Since 2009, Mandel has been working on a series HP, published by L'Association, in which she explores the world of psychiatric hospitals through the testimony of her mother and father-in-law, psychiatric nurses for 35 years in a large hospital in Marseille.
She was a juror at the 2014 Angoulême International Comics Festival, alongside Bernard Willem Holtrop as president of the jury. In 2015, with Jul Maroh, Mandel co-founded the Collective of female comics creators against sexism, a protest movement against the marginalization of women authors.Gobbo, Stéphane, "Des dessinatrices unies", Le Temps, 12 September 2015 {{inlang|fr}} In January 2018, the collective gathered more than 250 signatories.Belleret, Chloé, "Messieurs, il faut qu'on vous fasse un dessin?", Le Parisien, 26 January 2018 {{in lang|fr}}

From February to October 2016,{{cite news |last1=Vertaldi |first1=Aurélia |title=La jungle de Calais en BD : drôles de chroniques |url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/bd/2017/03/07/03014-20170307ARTFIG00016-la-jungle-de-calais-en-bd-droles-de-chroniques.php |access-date=2 April 2023 |work=Le Figaro |date=7 March 2017 |language=fr}}{{cite news |last1=Le Saux |first1=Laurence |title=La Jungle de Calais dessinée par Lisa Mandel : déchirant et drôle |url=https://www.telerama.fr/livre/la-jungle-de-calais-dessinee-par-lisa-mandel-dechirant-et-drole,155300.php |access-date=2 April 2023 |work=Télérama |date=8 December 2020 |language=fr}} Mandel and Bouagga followed the daily life of migrants in the Calais Jungle through a blog, Les Nouvelles de la jungle. In 2017, the comic book Les Nouvelles de la jungle de Calais was published by Casterman. The book was awarded the Coup de Coeur prize 2017 by the Centre national de la littérature pour la jeunesse,{{cite web |last1=Mandel |first1=Lisa |last2=Bouagga |first2=Yasmine |title=Les nouvelles de la jungle de Calais |url=https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb451967446 |publisher=Casterman |access-date=2 April 2023 |language=fr |date=2017}} which wrote in its review: "this comic book offers a real historical perspective and a remarkable dive into the complexity of the problem. The satirical treatment of the drawing does not prevent a nuanced commentary, which provokes reflection on complex humanitarian, political and social issues16." The newspaper Le Figaro states: "Deplorable living conditions, personal stories, fear of the mafia, muscular dismantling or inter-community struggles... Lisa Mandel and Yasmine Bouagga have decided to tell the story of the "jungle" in a humorous way, without voyeurism or misery." For the critic of the newspaper Télérama, the authors sign an "enlightening collection of pedagogical, humanistic chronicles, both heartbreaking and funny."
In 2017, Mandel and the political scientist Julie Pagis met with children aged 7 to 11 in an elementary school to complete their blog on the presidential campaign. Mandel expresses the reactions and sometimes the disgust of these children from the Parisian suburbs in comic strips published in the daily newspaper Le Monde, with a rather childish and humorous tone.{{cite web |title=Mélenchon et la teknologie |url=https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/index2.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Flisamandel.blog.lemonde.fr%2F2017%2F03%2F06%2Fmelenchon-et-la-teknologie%2F#federation=archive.wikiwix.com&tab=url |website=Prézizidentielle |via=Le Monde wikiwix.com |access-date=3 April 2023 |language=fr-FR |date=6 March 2017}} Since 2017, Mandel has often traveled to Lebanon and has also produced a comic book diary, {{lang|fr|Un automne à Beyrouth}} (Delcourt, 2018).{{cite news |author1=DT |title=Un Automne à Beyrouth- Par Lisa Mandel - Delcourt - ActuaBD |url=https://www.actuabd.com/+Un-Automne-a-Beyrouth-Par-Lisa-Mandel-Delcourt+ |access-date=3 April 2023 |work=www.actuabd.com |date=17 October 2018 |language=fr}}
In 2019, Mandel began the webcomic series, {{lang|fr|Une année exemplaire}}, where she tries to overcome her addictions in one year, producing one page per day. This project was funded by a subscription.{{cite news |last1=Potet |first1=Frédéric |title=L'année exemplaire de drôlerie de la dessinatrice Lisa Mandel |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2020/10/15/bande-dessinee-l-annee-exemplaire-de-drolerie-de-lisa-mandel_6056085_3246.html |access-date=3 April 2023 |work=Le Monde.fr |date=15 October 2020 |language=fr}} The entirety of the plates is published on the artist's Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts.
