I, René Tardi, Prisoner of War in Stalag IIB #1

This volume collects Jacques Tardi's deeply personal graphic novel adaptation of his father René Tardi's harrowing experiences as a French soldier captured and held as a prisoner of war in Stalag IIB during World War II. Based on René's own diaries and recollections, the book offers a stark, unflinching look at the daily brutality, hunger, and dehumanization of camp life, rendered in Tardi's signature detailed black-and-white linework. It stands as both a historical document and a son's tribute to his father's survival.
