Historian Jean-Yves Le Naour and cartoonist Manu Cassier recount in comics one of the most resounding cases of the Fifth Republic: the Markovic affair.
It’s a deal any screenwriter could dream of. Imagine a little: a corpse found in a public dump, a movie star summoned by the judges, suspicions on the side of the Corsican community or Yugoslav clans, fake photos of fine parts, a less and less insidious little rumor that dirties a former Prime Minister and his wife keen on contemporary art, an aging president, a war of internal succession in which all blows are allowed, not to mention a possible involvement in the middle of the Cold War of the CIA or the KGB…
No need for other ingredients to build a solid comic book. Especially since it is not a pure invention, but a very real affair, undoubtedly one of the dirtiest – some would say disgusting – in the entire history of the Fifth Republic.
The Markovic case is told to us in comics. The album was published by Grand Angle editions, with the design, Manu Cassierand to the scenario the historian Jean-Yves Le Naour.
Reportage : Gilles Vignault, a true national monument in Quebec, made known through his work his native village, Natashquan, located on the North Shore, nearly 1,000 kilometers east of Montreal. In his songs, he brings life to the neighbors and friends of this town of 260 inhabitants, connected to the rest of Quebec by road only 25 years ago. For the past two years, fans of his work have been able to visit the house where he grew up and soak up the atmosphere of his early years. Pascale Guéricolas went there.
