Tot ziens daarboven

Based on the acclaimed novel by Pierre Lemaitre, this 2020 graphic novel from Scratch Books adapts a sprawling tale of post-World War I France. Writer and artist Christian De Metter, working with Studio K, brings the story of two soldiers who survive a battlefield atrocity only to engage in a dark scheme of identity theft and betrayal. Through haunting, painterly art, the comic captures the grim absurdity and lingering trauma of the war's aftermath. It stands as a visually powerful European adaptation of a modern literary classic.
