What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This comic is a raw, counter-cultural document. Tardi and Grange reconstruct a history of protest and deliver a testimony.”
Pérez once again invites readers into a world of unknown, cosmic mystery. … Ocultos leaves the reader beguiled, reflective and wanting more.– “Broken Frontier”Elise is a tribute to revolutionaries who still believe in the great night. Tardi’s line perfectly captures the violence of the clashes with the police and the tumult of those powder years.– “Le Monde”
