Mémoires d'un 38

In Mémoires d'un 38, a single, potent issue from Les Humanoïdes Associés, a man is forced to confront the violent legacy of a weapon that has shaped his life. This 1989 graphic novel uses the intimate, first-person perspective of its title to explore memory and trauma, with the "38" of the title referring to a revolver that becomes a character in its own right. A stark, self-contained work, it stands as a powerful example of the mature, psychologically-driven storytelling that defined the European comics publisher's output in that era.
