Les dogues Noirs de l'Empire - La force noire

Set in the 19th-century French colonial empire, Les dogues Noirs de l'Empire - La force noire is a historical comic from French publisher L'Harmattan BD, launched in 2020. Written by Serge Saint-Michel and drawn by Fabrice Erre, this single-issue series explores the little-known story of the Force noire, African troops conscripted into the French army. It matters for its focused, revisionist look at a neglected chapter of military and colonial history.
