About the series
In Elysée République (2007–2012, Casterman), writer and artist Frisco crafts a taut, four-issue political thriller set within the corridors of French power. The series follows an ambitious young journalist who uncovers a dangerous conspiracy linking the Élysée Palace to a shadowy network of influence, testing the limits of truth and loyalty. Frisco’s stark, expressive artwork and dense, dialogue-driven storytelling make this a sharp, grounded exploration of media, ambition, and the machinery of the modern state. A concise, unsentimental entry in European political comics, it stands out for its unflinching look at the compromises behind governance.
