Moving Pictures

Set in 1940s Nazi-occupied France, this single-issue graphic novel from Top Shelf follows a female curator at the Jeu de Paume museum as she navigates the dangerous politics of art under the Occupation. Written by Kathryn Immonen with art by Stuart Immonen, it uses the theft and preservation of paintings to explore collaboration, resistance, and the moral compromises of wartime. A thoughtful, standalone work, it stands out for its quiet, character-driven take on a sprawling historical horror.
