Sir Arthur Benton volume 2: Wannsee, 1942, by Stéphane Perger (illustrator) and Tarek (screenwriter), 2005, private collection of Tarek.
Since the 1960s, comic strips have gained significant recognition among institutions, whether museums or academies. It has however long been classified in the category of «bad genres», like science fiction and thriller. How did the comic strip pass from the status of 'popular' if not 'vulgar' literature to that of 9th art? Did she have to go through it so that the Holocaust could be addressed in her pages?
In the presence of Jean-Paul Gabilliet, professor, Bordeaux-Montaigne university, Jean-Pierre Mercier, historian, scientific advisor at the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image, and Didier Pasamonik, exhibition curator.
Hosted by Jérôme Dupuis, journalist at L'Express.
