Les damnés de l'or brun

The 2022 Glénat series Les damnés de l'or brun is a three-issue comic that delves into the gritty, exploitative world of the brown gold rush—the palm oil industry. Written and illustrated by a team closely associated with the project, it exposes the environmental and human cost behind a global commodity. This concise, hard-hitting narrative matters for its unflinching look at a modern resource curse, making it a standout in contemporary European socio-political comics.
