Traffic

In this 2009–2010 miniseries from French publisher Bamboo Édition, Traffic explores the hidden world of human trafficking across Europe over three tightly plotted issues. Known for its gritty, socially conscious storytelling, the series was written and drawn by a creative team that brought a documentary-like realism to the subject. It matters as a compact, unflinching look at a global crisis, using the comic medium to give a human face to a statistic.
