Le baron noir

René Pétillon and Yves Got launched this single-issue French comic for Zenda in 1990, a satirical political thriller centered on a shadowy figure known as the Black Baron. With Pétillon's sharp, cynical writing and Got's expressive, cartoonish art, the story skewers power and corruption in a distinctly European vein. Though a brief outing, it stands as a pointed, self-contained work from two talents known for their biting social commentary.
