La Bombe

A single-issue graphic novel from French publisher Albin Michel, La Bombe (2001–present) distills the tense, ticking-clock drama of the Manhattan Project into a visually rich historical account. The book is most associated with writer Alcante and artist Denis Rodier, who collaborated to dramatize the scientific and moral weight behind the creation of the atomic bomb. Its importance lies in its focused, cinematic approach to a pivotal moment in history, offering a compact but resonant entry in the European bande dessinée tradition.
