Lucha - Chronique d'une révolution sans armes au Congo #[nn]

A vivid yellow cover sets the scene for this remarkable graphic work from La Boîte à Bulles and Amnesty International: a crowd of riot-gear-clad police officers surrounds a small group of unarmed civilians — men, women, and a child — near a parked vehicle, with a tall monument rising in the background. Created by Justine Brabant and Annick Kamgang, Lucha — Chronique d'une révolution sans armes au Congo promises an unflinching look at nonviolent resistance in the Democratic Republic of Congo, told with striking minimalist linework. Published in 2018, this is a comic with genuine conviction behind it, as powerful in its quiet imagery as in its subtitle's bold declaration.
