Akkinen - Zone toxique

A single, oversized graphic novel from Éditions Sarbacane, Akkinen - Zone toxique (2018) drops readers into a near-future where industrial pollution has rendered vast swaths of the French landscape uninhabitable. The story follows a young woman navigating this poisoned world, her journey a tense blend of survival and quiet rebellion. Created by the celebrated cartoonist and screenwriter Ugo Bienvenu, the book stands as a stark, visually arresting meditation on environmental collapse and resilience.
