Die eilige Heilige

Claire Bretécher’s Die eilige Heilige is a brisk, single-issue satire from 1982, published by Rowohlt, that skewers religious piety and social hypocrisy with her signature sharp, minimalist linework. A standalone comic by one of French bande dessinée’s most celebrated female creators, it captures Bretécher’s keen eye for absurdity in everyday life. Though brief, the issue remains a pointed, humorous snapshot of its era.
