Jacques Tardi

We, we also segued into the French Adèle Blanc-Sec.

Um, one, because who doesn't love steampunk? Um, two, I really think that Jacques Tardi in many ways was doing something very interesting with Adèle Blanc-Sec.

Um, not a traditional reporter, but essentially that role as reporting on history and being part of history was something very, um, important for us to realize how the graphic novel today, and then obviously Jacques Tardi started in the '70s.

He's still working on it, so we don't know when the series ends.

But dealing with history, right? How do you, how do you write about something, even in the '70s, French perspective of what it meant for France to be part of World War II and what it has survived? And he chose a female character who has been very represented, very popular in bande dessinée, and takes her clothing and her original sort of drawing back to the visual on Bécassine, one of the early French female characters in bande dessinée for France.
