Et Dieu créa... Bardot #[nn]

A portrait-driven graphic work from Editions Jungle, Et Dieu créa… Bardot opens with a striking painted cover — a close-up of a young blonde woman in a pink polka-dot headband, rendered in a warm, expressive style by Rodolphe and KolonelChabert that immediately evokes the breezy glamour of a bygone era. The teal dotted background and bold lettering frame the subject with a confident, almost cinematic energy that feels perfectly at home in 2016's resurgent appetite for biographical comics. If you have any fondness for French pop culture told through sequential art, this volume makes a genuinely appealing addition to the shelf.
