La disparition de Josef Mengele

A haunting graphic novel from the French publisher Les Arènes, La disparition de Josef Mengele (2022–present) traces the fugitive years of the Nazi doctor after World War II. Across a single, dense issue, the narrative follows Mengele’s life in hiding in South America, blending historical fact with a chillingly intimate portrait. The series is most associated with its writer and artist, who together craft a stark, visually arresting account of a war criminal’s evasion of justice. It matters as a sobering, literary-minded addition to the graphic novel’s capacity to explore dark historical chapters.
