La cellule #[nn]

La Cellule is a gripping work of graphic journalism from Les Arènes BD, created by Soren Seelow, Kévin Jackson, and Nicolas Otero — and winner of the Prix franceinfo de la BD d'actualité de reportage. The cover sets the tone immediately: a stark, monochromatic scene of armed silhouettes moving through a devastated urban landscape of rubble and ruins, with a black flag raised against a pale sky, conveying the weight and gravity of the subject matter. This 2021 volume investigates the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks, chronicling the race against time between intelligence services and the cell determined to strike Paris.
