Bab El-Mandeb

Bab El-Mandeb, a single-issue comic published by Casterman in 1988, takes its name from the strategic strait connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. This standalone work was crafted by a creative team that brought a focused, geopolitical lens to the medium, offering a snapshot of tension in a crucial maritime corridor. While brief in its run, it stands as a distinctive example of European comics engaging with real-world global flashpoints.
