La Carte de l'Afrique

Luc Dellisse and Marc Sevrin’s La Carte de l’Afrique, published by Casterman since 1991, is a single-issue comic that offers a contemplative journey through the cartographic and cultural layers of the African continent. More an illustrated essay than a traditional narrative, it blends Sevrin’s evocative linework with Dellisse’s thoughtful text to explore how maps shape our understanding of place and history. A quiet, distinctive entry in the bande dessinée tradition, it stands as a meditative work that matters for its unique fusion of geography and graphic storytelling.
