Cézembre

Nicolas Malfin writes and illustrates this two-issue miniseries from Silvester, set during World War II. It follows a small group of French soldiers stationed on the fortified island of Cézembre, whose duty becomes a tense, claustrophobic struggle for survival as the war closes in around them. Malfin’s stark, expressive art captures the isolation and moral weight of their stand, making this a quietly powerful war story from the early 2020s.
