La véritable histoire du soldat inconnu

Jacques Tardi’s hauntingly singular work, published by Futuropolis in 1974, reimagines the Great War’s enduring trauma through the surreal journey of a single anonymous soldier. Across its single, potent issue, Tardi both writes and illustrates a grim, expressionist vision that strips away patriotic myth to confront the absurdity and horror of trench warfare. This stark, influential book stands as a foundational piece of the French bande dessinée’s turn toward serious historical and political storytelling.
