Comics have great potential to depict an almost infinite range of
themes, questions and lives. But what about their ability to
express and interpret philosophical concepts? How can we
differentiate between the representation of theoretical concepts in
and of themselves, and the impact of comics techniques on the
legacy of philosophers, their lives and their thought? This book
explores the historical and artistic value of representing lives
through the medium of bande dessinee (BD), French-language comics.
The text analyses three biographical BDs dedicated to the lives of
Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus as well as a
selection of print and online comics that extend the legacy of
these philosophers and their historical movement. The work is the
first to analyse biographical BD through the lens of
Existentialism, offering a new theory of reading biographical
comics. The research not only contributes a novel approach to
comics but also an enhanced understanding of Existentialism and the
Existentialists, including their enduring contemporary relevance.
