Vol de nuit

Vol de nuit, a 2011 graphic novel from Futuropolis, adapts Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic aviation novel into a single, self-contained comic. The story follows the pioneering pilots of the early airmail service, who risk their lives flying treacherous night routes across South America. This edition is notable for its atmospheric art by French illustrator Jérôme Eho, whose sepia-toned, painterly style captures both the romance and peril of early aviation. It stands as a faithful, visually striking tribute to a foundational work of French literature, bringing its themes of duty and human endurance to a new medium.
