Histoire d'une idée

Since 2007, the International Committee of the Red Cross has published Histoire d'une idée, a single-issue comic that distills the organization’s founding principles into a visual narrative. Illustrated by legendary artist Moebius, this concise, humanitarian-minded work uses his signature fluid linework to trace the evolution of an idea—the Red Cross’s mission of impartial aid—across history and into the present. It stands as a unique, artful primer on the origins and enduring relevance of international humanitarian law.
