About the series
Set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, Once upon a Time in France (2019–present) is a historical crime comic from Naval Institute Press, published as a single issue. Written by Fabien Nury and Ivanka Hahnenberger with art by Sylvain Vallée, it follows the true story of a Jewish immigrant who becomes a powerful figure in the Parisian underworld while collaborating with the Gestapo. This series is notable for its morally complex portrait of survival, ambition, and complicity, rendered in Vallée's expressive, cinematic artwork.
