Les Esclaves oubliés de Tromelin

In Les Esclaves oubliés de Tromelin, published by Dupuis beginning in 2015, this single-issue comic recounts the harrowing true story of enslaved Malagasy people abandoned on a remote Indian Ocean island after a shipwreck in 1761. The series is most associated with the creative team of writer Sylvain Savoia and artist Emmanuel Lepage, who blend historical research with a deeply human narrative. It matters as a poignant, lesser-known chapter of colonial history, brought to vivid life through its creators' meticulous art and empathetic storytelling.
