La baronne du jazz

In 2020, Steinkis published this single-issue graphic biography of the pioneering French jazz singer and resistance figure, Freda "La Baronne" James. Written and drawn by a team of creators, the comic explores her extraordinary life from the cabarets of 1920s Paris to her wartime heroism. It matters as a focused, respectful tribute to an overlooked historical icon, rendered in a vivid European bande dessinée style.
