14-18 Une minute de silence à nos arrière-grands-pères courageux #[nn]

Dedieu's *14-18 — Une minute de silence à nos arrière-grands-pères courageux* arrives from Seuil as a quietly devastating tribute to the soldiers of the First World War. The cover, rendered entirely in haunting sepia washes, shows a shell exploding across a ravaged landscape of churning smoke, scattered debris, and what appear to be the silhouettes of barbed wire and shattered terrain along the horizon — a battlefield reduced to its rawest, most elemental violence. Published in 2014, a century after the guns first sounded, this book feels less like a comic and more like an act of remembrance.
