La Jeune Fille et le Nègre

In this two-issue series from Actes Sud (2008–2009), La Jeune Fille et le Nègre explores a charged, intimate drama set against a backdrop of racial and social tension. The story follows the relationship between a young white woman and a Black man, delving into themes of prejudice, desire, and identity in a nuanced, European comics tradition. Though brief, the series stands out for its bold, literary approach to a difficult subject, with artwork and storytelling that prioritize emotional depth over sensationalism. It remains a distinctive, thought-provoking work from the late 2000s Franco-Belgian comics scene.
