Le combat ordinaire
Le combat ordinaire is a 4-book series with 4 primary works first released in 2003 with contributions by Manu Larcenet and Francesca Scala.
This is the story of Marc, a young war photographer who’s tired and disgusted of having seen too many horrors. He decides to withdraw from the world with his pain-in-the-neck cat to try and rebuild his life. It's also the story of banal horrors, of his art thrown against heavy anxiety attacks, of a really cute woman in his small town who seems to take to him against all odds, of his old neighbor, a peaceful likable fella until you get to know his disturbing role in the war... From this simple storyline, Manu Larcenet weaves one of the finest pages of comics of the last decades, a unique reflection on the passage to adulthood, self-acceptance and our relationship with the world.
