L'affaire Mis et Thiennot

The true-crime comic L'affaire Mis et Thiennot (2007–present) investigates a notorious French judicial error from the 1940s, the wrongful conviction of two men for a murder they did not commit. Published by Communication Presse Éditions / Éditions CPE, this single-issue work is most closely associated with artist Gérard Clam, whose visual storytelling brings a somber, documentary-like gravity to a case that haunted French legal history. It stands as a poignant, focused example of how comics can serve as a medium for historical reckoning and social justice.
