About the series
In 1999, the French publisher Regards released a single-issue comic, Boule de neige tirailleur sénégalais, a standalone work that confronts the overlooked history of Senegalese tirailleurs—colonial soldiers who fought for France. This stark, politically charged narrative uses a snowball (boule de neige) as a metaphor for the escalating violence and moral contradictions of war. While the series is brief, its focused, unflinching look at a marginalized chapter of military history gives it a lasting, sobering resonance.
