Since his debut in 1969, Jacques Tardi has repeatedly confronted his obsessive horror of war and violence. Recognized as one of the most influential graphic artists of his generation, he created a baroque, absurd and fundamentally pessimistic universe, moving from one war to another, with major works such as C’était la guerre des tranchées, La Der des Ders and Le Cri du peuple — not to mention his three illustrated editions of Céline: Casse-pipe, Mort à crédit and the present Voyage au bout de la nuit, the first of the three. A triumph.
