Loire

Loire, launched by Futuropolis in 2023, is a single-issue graphic album that explores the mythic and environmental history of France’s longest river. The series is most closely associated with writer and artist Étienne Davodeau, whose warm, documentary-style storytelling brings the Loire’s landscapes and human stories to life. This concise work matters as a poetic, contemplative addition to the bande dessinée tradition, blending geography with personal narrative.
