Au Ritz des Fritz #[nn]

A haunting pencil-rendered cover sets the tone for this French graphic novel from La Boîte à Bulles, depicting prisoners — marked with "PW" on their uniforms — offering a Nazi salute beneath a swastika war flag, while an American flag flies in the background and one figure stands apart, watching. Nathalie Bodin's stark, black-and-white artwork captures a deeply uncomfortable tension between captivity, coercion, and resistance that feels both intimate and historically charged. Published in 2015, Au Ritz des Fritz promises a sobering look at a World War II prisoner-of-war experience told with unflinching visual honesty.
