La Revue Dessinée #20

The summer 2018 issue of La Revue Dessinée arrives with a sun-drenched cover painting of three figures mid-leap into a pool, their bodies tangled in joyful, carefree motion above shimmering blue water. Inside, this French comics journalism quarterly tackles a compelling range of subjects — nuclear energy, cycling, art trafficking, and burnout — showing once again why it sits at the intersection of reportage and bande dessinée. At 16 EUR, issue #20 is a rich summer read for anyone who believes illustrated journalism can go places words alone cannot.
