Mao et moi

In Mao et moi, a single-issue comic from L'école des loisirs launched in 2008, the series explores a personal encounter with the cultural and political shadow of Mao Zedong. Known for its concise, thoughtful storytelling, this French publication distills a complex historical figure into a spare, intimate narrative. The series matters as a compact example of how European comics can tackle big ideological subjects through a quiet, human lens.
