About the series
A nine-issue French comics series published by Hachette from 1974 to 1977, La Seconde guerre mondiale offers a painted, documentary-style account of World War II. The series is most closely associated with artist Pierre Dupuis, whose vivid, realistic illustrations bring the conflict's key events and figures to life. As part of the Histoire B.D. / Bande mauve line, it stands as a notable early example of European comics tackling serious historical nonfiction with artistic ambition.
