BZH - Bretagne Zone Heureuse

Set in a near-future Brittany that has seceded from France and become an independent nation, BZH - Bretagne Zone Heureuse is a satirical science-fiction series from French publisher Albin Michel. Launched in 2000, the series is most associated with writer and artist Alain Goutal, whose sole issue to date envisions a "Happy Zone" where regional identity, politics, and technology collide. Its provocative premise makes it a notable, if brief, entry in French bande dessinée's tradition of using speculative fiction to explore national and cultural anxieties.
