Abstract:

 The graphic novel is a milestone in the history of comics. Representing serious subjects with panels and bubbles is a challenge that some authors have decided to take up, and one that has been rewarded with unprecedented success. For this article, we have chosen three authors from different cultures who have portrayed « the unspeakable » and « the invisible », that they have experienced directly or through testimonial stories. Between a graphic novel portraying the Holocaust, another portraying the war in Iran and a third portraying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, what analogies can we identify? And how does the micro-narrative contribute to the macro-narrative that constitutes a fundamental step in the writing of history?.
