Retour à Killybegs

Set in the tense, politically charged landscape of Northern Ireland during the Troubles, Retour à Killybegs (2019–present) is a French graphic novel from Rue de Sèvres that follows a former IRA member returning to his hometown. The series, so far comprising a single issue, explores the haunting weight of past allegiances and the impossibility of escape from one's history. It matters for its unflinching, human-scale look at a conflict often seen in broad strokes, rendered with a European comics sensibility that prioritizes interior drama over action.
