Nengue - L'histoire oubliée des esclaves des Guyanes #[nn]

Nengue — L'histoire oubliée des esclaves des Guyanes is a striking 2018 release from Steinkis that brings a largely forgotten chapter of Guyanese history to the page. The cover, illustrated by Stéphane Blanco and Samuel Figuière, draws you deep into a lush, dense jungle where two figures push cautiously through the tropical undergrowth — a quietly tense image that speaks to both exploration and survival. Described as a tribute to the explorer who inspired Jules Verne, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Hergé, as well as to a people who won their own freedom, this is the kind of thoughtful, historically grounded bande dessinée that reminds you comics can carry real weight.
