La Présidente

A sharp political thriller from French publisher Les Arènes, La Présidente (2015–2017) imagines a near-future France where the far-right Front National wins the presidency, exploring the chillingly plausible slide into authoritarianism over its three-issue run. Written and drawn by a team of French comics creators, the series blends journalistic rigor with speculative fiction to examine the fragility of democratic institutions. Its matter-of-fact, grounded approach made it a standout in European political comics, resonating as a cautionary tale during a period of rising populism.
