La piscine de Micheville

Baru's La piscine de Micheville, a single-issue story published by Dargaud in 1985, captures a slice of life centered on a public swimming pool in a French town. Through his distinctive, socially observant cartooning, Baru examines class and community with a warm, unflinching eye. This early work is a quiet but essential piece of his celebrated career, showcasing the humanist grit that would define his later graphic novels.
