En chienneté #[nn]

A pencil tucked behind the ear and a skull tattoo on the forearm — the figure on Bast's cover radiates quiet defiance, hinting at the book's subtitle: Tentative d'évasion artistique en milieu carcéral (an artistic escape attempt within a prison setting). Published in 2013 by La Boîte à Bulles in partnership with Contre-Pied, this is a thoughtful, intimate work that frames drawing itself as a form of freedom. If you're drawn to comics that find humanity in confined spaces, En Chienneté looks like a compelling and moving read.
