This book explores the historical and artistic value of three bande dessinée (BD), French-language comics, that depict the lives of Existentialist thinkers Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus. The work is the first to analyse biographical BD through the lens of Existentialism, offering a new theory of reading biographical comics.
