Cette histoire qui a fait l'Alsace #1

The opening volume of this French-language historical comics series sets an ambitious stage, tracing the deep roots of the Alsace region in *L'Alsace avant l'Alsace*. The cover says it all: a prehistoric hunter confronts a massive woolly mammoth, while a series of smaller vignettes along the right side hint at the sweeping journey ahead — from tender everyday moments to bustling ancient gatherings. Created by Marie-Thérèse Fischer and Robert Bressy, this 2009 Éditions du Signe release looks like a richly illustrated invitation to explore the layered history of one of France's most storied regions.
