More than just comics

More than just comics, LA REVUE DESSINÉE is a tool for understanding current events, and at the same time, an instructive and entertaining example of a popular medium. By reading LA REVUE, I discovered why integrated farm management has not succeeded at the scale that it could, I understood the ins and outs of shale gas and fracking, discovered why some Africans choose to vote for a nationalist party, and in the end got a little more of a feel for the everyday life of a sailor. I became just a little less stupid and I adored that.
