Autoroute du soleil

From 2000 to the present, Edition Moderne’s Autoroute du soleil is a single-issue comic by French creator Baru—who both writes and illustrates—with additional scripting by David Basler. The series captures Baru’s signature gritty, socially observant style, focusing on the underbelly of modern France through a highway journey that lays bare class tensions and personal histories. Though brief in run length, it stands as a potent, self-contained snapshot of Baru’s enduring voice in European comics.
