About the series
Drawing from the actual letters of French soldiers in World War I, Paroles de poilus is a solemn two-issue series from Soleil (2006–2012) that adapts their raw, firsthand words into comics form. Guided by the editorial hand of Jean-Pierre Verney, with art by a rotating roster of European talents, it stands as a poignant historical document rather than a traditional narrative. Its significance lies in giving visual, human immediacy to the voices of ordinary men at the front, making it a quiet but powerful entry in war comics.
