Reporter #1

The cover of this Dargaud series opener sets a striking, documentary tone: a powerful black-and-white photograph-style image of a passionate speaker at a microphone dominates the frame, with the subtitle anchoring the subject firmly in Alabama, 1965 — the era of Bloody Sunday and the march for freedom. Reporter #1 promises a grounded, journalistic approach to one of history's most charged civil rights moments, rendered with the visual seriousness the subject deserves. From creators Renaud Garreta, Laurent Granier, and Gontran Toussaint, this 2016 release looks like compelling historical comics at its most purposeful.
