Mémé d'Arménie

In this deeply personal graphic memoir, author Jérôme Prieur traces his family's Armenian heritage through the story of his grandmother, Mémé. Published by Futuropolis in 2006, this single-issue work explores memory, diaspora, and the quiet resilience of a woman who lived through the Armenian Genocide. Prieur’s spare, evocative storytelling and archival imagery create an intimate portrait that resonates beyond its compact format. A poignant entry in the tradition of European historical comics, it matters for its unflinching yet tender look at how personal history shapes identity.
