Autoroute du soleil

Baru’s Autoroute du soleil, published by Carlsen Comics since 2007, is a taut, single-issue graphic novel that captures the restless energy of a road trip across France. Written and illustrated entirely by Baru, it stands as a focused character study, using the open highway as a stage for social observation and personal reckoning. This compact work exemplifies Baru’s signature style—gritty, humanist, and deeply rooted in working-class experience—making it a notable entry in his acclaimed body of European comics.
