Letter to Survivors

In 2019, The New York Review of Books released this single-issue comic by French cartoonist Gébé, translated by Edward Gauvin. A haunting, satirical vision of a post-apocalyptic world, it follows a lone survivor composing a letter to those who might follow. Gébé’s stark, expressive artwork and deadpan humor give the story a chilling relevance, making it a quiet but potent entry in the tradition of French dystopian comics.
