Wendy

In this two-issue French comic series from Delcourt, artist and writer Mathieu Sapin chronicles the brief, tumultuous political career of Wendy, a fictional candidate who runs for local office in a small French town. The story offers a sharp, character-driven look at the mechanics of a grassroots campaign, from door-to-door canvassing to the compromises of coalition-building. Sapin's clean, expressive ligne claire style brings warmth and humor to the bureaucratic absurdities and personal stakes of civic engagement. Though short, Wendy stands as a clever, understated satire of political ambition and community dynamics.
