Le contrepied de Foé #[nn]

Published by Dargaud in 2016, this French-language graphic novel from Galandon and Vidal brings the world of African football to vivid life. The cover centers on a young man in a green number 17 jersey, eyes lifted with quiet determination, as two teammates run close behind him on a sun-baked red dirt pitch framed by lush tropical palms. It's a warm, humanly drawn portrait of athletic ambition and camaraderie that feels both intimate and full of forward motion.
