Orwell

A chilly, elegant political thriller from the French publisher Concerto Books, Orwell (2024–present) reimagines the life and ideas of George Orwell through the lens of a taut, speculative narrative. Written by Pierre Christin and illustrated by Sébastien Verdier, this single-issue debut distills the author’s restless genius and prescient fears into a moody, visually striking meditation on truth, power, and surveillance. It matters as a sophisticated European graphic novel that bridges biography and dystopian fiction, offering a fresh entry point into Orwell’s enduring relevance.
