Hugues Jallon & Franck Bourgeron publish Le temps des salauds with Casterman BD.
“Fascism begins with the mad, is brought about thanks to the bastards, and continues because of the idiots.”
In a world where balances waver, where alliances are made and unmade in the shadows, and where the truth is never what it seems, “Le Temps des salauds” plunges the reader into the heart of a system where power is negotiated without scruples.
Intrigues, manipulations and power struggles shape a tense narrative, carried by characters caught in a mechanism that overwhelms them.
No one comes out unscathed.
A comic to keep close before they come to power soon (in France).
