Our selection of 8 comics not to be missed this fall 2025
2. “Where you go”, by Étienne Davodeau
Ed. Futuropolis, 160 p. ; €24.
Extreme finesse in the line, tactile scriptwriting, on the edge, as close as possible to the human soul: this is what characterizes the work of Étienne Davodeau, who tells the story of people “like us” better than anyone.
In this new album subtitled Journey to the land of failing memory, the artist evokes his partner’s profession. Long reluctant, Françoise, a companion for people affected by neurodegenerative diseases, reveals to Étienne the heart of her profession.
The result is a marvel of delicacy. The reader learns, for example, which words matter and which words should be left out. “Do you remember who I am?” is of the second category. “Hello, I’m your sister Claire” is from the first…
A black and white graphic story, powerful and generous, to read and offer.
