Un maillot pour l'Algérie #[nn]

A footballer in a green Algerian jersey stands resolute at the center of the cover, a ball at his feet, while a crowd of armed soldiers and fighters fills the background behind him — the image immediately signals a story where sport and political conflict are inseparable. Published by Dupuis under the Aire Libre imprint in 2016, this work by Rey, Galic, and Kris carries the quiet power of historical graphic storytelling at its best. The tension between the lone athlete and the military backdrop makes for a cover that's visually striking without needing a single word of explanation.
