Io René Tardi prigioniero di guerra allo Stalag 2B

Jacques Tardi’s Io René Tardi prigioniero di guerra allo Stalag 2B, published by Coconino Press from 2013 onward, adapts his own father’s harrowing World War II experiences as a French prisoner of war. Through a single, densely packed issue, Tardi serves as both writer and artist, blending stark, meticulous linework with a deeply personal narrative that explores survival, memory, and the dehumanizing grind of camp life. This series stands as a poignant, autobiographical war chronicle from one of Europe’s most revered cartoonists.
