Biographics

Talk & Readings

From Tintin to Asterix, the love of comics unites both sides of the Channel! The genre has also become a prized method to convey the lives of great historical figures from Sigmund Freud to Emil Zatopek. Illustrators and artists Lionel Richerand and writer Jan Novák join comics veteran Paul Gravett to examine what makes "biographics" so popular and what more can they offer in the exploration of the lives of history’s greats.
