L'homme qui croyait à la Californie

Christian Godard and Claude de Ribaupierre collaborate on this single-volume graphic novel from Le Lombard, a bittersweet tale of a man chasing an impossible dream of California from a gray European present. Published in 1987, the story stands as a self-contained character study, exploring the gap between hope and reality with a quiet, melancholic touch. It’s a compact, evocative work that showcases the duo’s ability to distill a life’s longing into a few poignant pages.
