Dropsie Avenue

In this French-language graphic novel series from Delcourt, a single, sprawling narrative unfolds across the titular Dropsie Avenue, a fictional street in the Bronx. The series, which began in 2007, is the work of writer and artist Will Eisner, who uses the avenue as a microcosm to explore the cycles of immigration, urban decay, and renewal in 20th-century America. Though only one issue has been published to date, it stands as a poignant, self-contained chapter in Eisner's late-career focus on the social history of New York City, rendered in his signature cinematic style.
