La Gloire d'Albert #[nn]

"La gloire d'Albert" is a stark, intimate portrait of everyday life under political tension, following Albert Colin, a 43-year-old shop assistant juggling work, debt, and quiet desperation. Written and illustrated by Étienne Davodeau—handling every aspect of the art and color—this 1999 Delcourt issue presents a raw, grounded narrative of a man caught between routine and the unsettling shadows of far-right movements, with the cover by Davodeau capturing the story’s somber tone.
