Madeleine, Résistante #2

The second volume of Madeleine, Résistante — subtitled L'édredon rouge — arrives with a cover that immediately conveys quiet, steely tension: a young woman stands hemmed in by two imposing Nazi soldiers in a narrow, shadow-drenched alleyway, scattered leaflets at their feet hinting at clandestine activity. Bertail's artwork bathes the scene in a cool, near-monochrome blue palette that feels both atmospheric and deeply unsettling, perfectly suited to occupied France. Morvan and Riffaud's collaboration continues to honor the true story of Résistante Madeleine Riffaud with evident care and craft.
