Le Dernier des Schoenfeld #1

A gripping French-language graphic novel from Glénat, this first volume — La Confession d'Agathe — sets a somber, atmospheric tone right from its cover. A young man in a casual shirt stands in the foreground, studying a piece of paper with quiet intensity, while behind him a woman in period dress pauses near a stone gateway marked with graffiti. Cédric Hervan's artwork strikes a careful balance between restrained realism and emotional weight, making this 2009 Bartoll–Hervan collaboration a compelling starting point for what promises to be a layered, historically charged story.
