Le Temps des sauvages

Set in a near-future France where a mysterious epidemic has turned children into feral, animalistic beings, Le Temps des sauvages is a single-issue graphic novel from Futuropolis that launched in 2016. Written and illustrated by a creative team that explores the collapse of society through the eyes of a few adults trying to survive and protect the last untainted youth, it stands as a stark, self-contained meditation on parenthood and civilization. Though brief, this French comic matters for its concentrated, visceral take on a post-apocalyptic premise, offering a complete story in one dense volume.
