Révolution #1
This first volume of the Révolution series, titled Liberté, collects the opening chapters of a historical narrative set during the French Revolution, written by Florent Grouazel and Younn Locard. The story follows a diverse cast of characters from different social classes as the political upheaval of 1789 unfolds in Paris and beyond, blending meticulous period detail with a modern storytelling approach. Published by Actes Sud, this hardcover edition launches the acclaimed series that won the Fauve d'Or at Angoulême in 2020.
"Liberté," the first chapter of Révolution #1 (2019), unfolds the chaotic months between May and October 1789 through the eyes of ordinary people, capturing the rising unrest in Paris as the Estates-General ignite a nation on the brink. Written by Florent Grouazel and Younn Locard, with art, inks, colors, and letters by the duo, the story presents a vivid, intimate take on a pivotal moment in French history—grounded in the lived experience of the people, not the legends. The cover, also by Grouazel and Locard, sets the tone with a striking visual of the era’s simmering energy.

Ce premier volet (baptisé “Liberté”) retrace les événements survenus entre les mois de mai et octobre 1789 alors que la capitale est plongée dans le tumulte des États généraux et que l’opinion est encore soudée autour de la personne du Roi. L'histoire française est ici raconté du point de vue du peuple, loin des personnages célèbres.
