Fabien Toulmé, portraits of a world in struggle

Fabien Toulme portraits of a world in struggle

After his very noticed “The Odyssey of Hakim” or “Suzette and the great love”, Fabien Toulmé returns today with a new comic strip inspired by his meetings with activists from different countries, in Lebanon, Brazil and Benign.

On the cover, 4 young women, one of whom is holding a megaphone and raising her fist to the sky. And behind them, in front of a palm tree, a crowd of demonstrators, and on the side a hairy man in shorts and flip-flops, a pencil in his left hand, a spiral notebook in the other. This man is a comic book author: Fabien Toulme.

These 4 women are his heroines, women in struggle whom he met during his travels in Lebanon, Brazil and Benin, and whose daily commitment he tells about, in the field, in the service of causes that exceed them.

Through the popular revolution in the country of the Cedars, a community facing a real estate project in Brazil, and the feminist struggle of a young activist in schools in Benin, Fabien Toulmé opens a new window on our contemporaries.

His album ” The reflections of the world – In struggle is available from Delcourt editions.

Reportage : For the 100th anniversary of Jacques Martin, cartoonist and screenwriter of the “Lefranc” series, the town of Molsheim, in the East of France, returns through two exhibitions on one of his hobbies: the automobile. Because between him and cars, the love story is as beautiful and bumpy as the Alsatian roads where he was born. A guided tour from our reporter Amelie Beaucour.
