Cinq branches de coton noir

A single, powerful graphic novel from Dupuis, Cinq branches de coton noir (2018–present) is a poignant historical work by author Yves Sente and artist Steve Cuzor. It weaves the stories of five African-American soldiers from the segregated 369th Infantry Regiment—the Harlem Hellfighters—during World War I, exploring their bravery and the racism they faced both abroad and at home. This self-contained volume stands out for its meticulous research and emotional depth, bringing a vital, often-overlooked chapter of history to comics.
