Au nom de la bombe - Histoires secrètes des essais atomiques français #[nn]

The cover of this French graphic novel from Steinkis says it all: a close-up of a gas mask or hazmat helmet reflects a towering nuclear mushroom cloud, rendered in stark, muted tones that feel both clinical and haunting. Au nom de la bombe — Histoires secrètes des essais atomiques français promises to pull back the curtain on France's largely untold nuclear testing history, brought to life by Albert Brandov and Frankie Alarcón. It's a sobering and visually striking 2021 release that looks like essential reading for anyone drawn to the intersection of history, secrecy, and human consequence.
