Les Lumières de la France

In this ambitious historical series from Dargaud, Les Lumières de la France (2011–present) explores the intellectual and cultural ferment of the French Enlightenment through the eyes of its key figures. Though only a single issue has been published so far, the project promises a sweeping, visually rich examination of the era’s ideas and conflicts, with the creative team bringing a scholarly yet accessible touch to the period. It matters as a thoughtful, ongoing effort to dramatize the birth of modern French thought in comic form.
