La Revue Dessinée #28

France's pioneering comics-journalism magazine returns for its summer 2020 issue, its cover featuring a red-suited figure balancing precariously on a tightrope stretched above a sprawling industrial cityscape — a vivid metaphor for the precarious times the publication sets out to examine. Inside, the issue tackles topics ranging from societal collapse ("Sauve qui peut"), highway privatization ("Les rentiers de l'asphalte"), and arbitration tribunals draining state coffers, to war crimes in Syria — a genuinely ambitious spread of reported stories told through the unique lens of bande dessinée. At 16 EUR, La Revue Dessinée #28 makes a compelling case that sequential art remains one of the most engaging ways to engage with the world's most pressing issues.
