Hélie de Saint Marc

Hélie de Saint Marc, launched in 2023 by Editions Plein Vent, is a biographical comic series that honors the extraordinary life of the French Resistance fighter and former Legionnaire. Across its opening issue, the series draws on the real-world experiences of its subject, a figure of quiet heroism and moral complexity. The project is most associated with writer and artist collaboration that brings a documentary-like gravity to the page. It matters as a focused, respectful entry in the French bande dessinée tradition, preserving a pivotal 20th-century story for a new generation.
