La Plus Belle Femme du Monde #[nn]

This collected edition presents the graphic biography of Hedy Lamarr, the Hollywood star whose glamorous public life often overshadowed her groundbreaking work as an inventor.

Published by La Boîte à Bulles, it offers a nuanced portrait of a woman who defied the era's expectations of female movie stars.
