Rescapé.e.s - Carnet de sauvetages en Méditerranée #[nn]

A powerful work of graphic journalism from Lucas Vallerie and Michaël Bunel, Rescapé.e.s documents Mediterranean rescue operations through the lens of the Geo Barents — the MSF search-and-rescue vessel seen prominently on the cover navigating open waters alongside inflatable rescue boats. The cover's striking split composition pairs illustrated seafaring scenes with stark black-and-white photography of survivors crowded on a ship's deck, immediately conveying the human weight of this 2023 publication from La Boîte à Bulles. It's a thoughtful, necessary book that bridges visual journalism and the bande dessinée tradition in service of a story that genuinely matters.
