Koblenz

Thierry Robin both wrote and painted this four-issue historical series from Delcourt, set in the German city of Koblenz at the end of World War II. Published between 1999 and 2005, the story follows the intersecting lives of ordinary civilians and occupying forces in the war’s chaotic final months. Robin’s lush, atmospheric art lends a haunting, human-scale intimacy to a rarely examined corner of the conflict. It stands as a quietly powerful European war drama, driven by a single creator’s singular vision.
