Forçats

In the mid-2010s, French publisher Les Arènes released Forçats, a two-issue comic series that offers a stark, character-driven look into the brutal world of penal colonies. The series focuses on the lives of convicts in a French prison camp, exploring themes of survival, injustice, and human endurance. Though brief, the work stands as a concentrated, atmospheric entry in European historical comics, distinguished by its unflinching portrayal of a grim chapter in France's colonial past.
