La Revue Dessinée #6

This Winter 2014–2015 edition of La Revue Dessinée arrives as issue #6 of the French quarterly dedicated to comics journalism — enquêtes, reportages, and documentaires en bande dessinée. The lively cover depicts two figures in yellow coats dashing through lush green foliage, with a Darth Vader-esque dark silhouette looming behind them amid colorful wrapped gifts, setting a playful yet slightly ominous tone that hints at the eclectic mix inside. With features on Sarkozy's affairs, a retrospective on the Pilote magazine era, precarious interim work, and 48 hours in criminal custody, this issue makes a strong case that comics nonfiction can tackle serious subjects with real wit and style.
