Au cœur de la vague #[nn]

A vivid work of drawn journalism from 2020, Au cœur de la vague — "Reportage dessiné" (drawn reportage) — captures an extraordinary moment in time through Chappatte's pen. The cover says it all: a masked journalist, sketchbook in hand, stands before a "Zone Covid" hospital ward where a healthcare worker tends to a patient, translating frontline reality into comics form. Published by Les Arènes BD in partnership with Courrier International and Le Temps, this is an unusually direct and human document of the pandemic as it unfolded.
