L'intégrale Corse

René Pétillon’s L’intégrale Corse (2009–present, Les Arènes) collects his complete body of work set on the island of Corsica, a satirical and suspenseful series that blends political intrigue, crime, and dark humor. Known for his sharp, cynical wit and elegant ligne claire style, Pétillon is both writer and artist across the entire run, making this a pure vision of his singular comedic voice. Though only one volume has been released so far, it gathers the foundational stories that established his reputation for skewering bureaucracy, organized crime, and regional identity with deadpan precision. This series matters as a definitive archive of one of French comics’ most distinctive satirists, offering a unified look at his Corsican tales in a single, curated edition.
