About the Book

In May 1968, France exploded. Leftist student groups occupied the streets of Paris, riot police clashed with protesters, and a general strike spread across France like wildfire, threatening to grind government and industry to a halt. And at the heart of it all - Elise. Ten years earlier, Elise came to Paris to try her luck in show business. While she met with success as a pop singer, she soon found herself radicalized by the Algerian War and the poor treatment of Algerian immigrants in Paris. For the next 20 years, she would join the fight against labor exploitation, social injustice, and racism in France - risking it all for progressive causes. The firsthand account of activist and singer Dominique Grange, Elise and the New Partisans is an authentic and exhilarating glimpse into the front lines of the spirited social movements of late-20th century France. Drawn with typical mastery by legendary French cartoonist Tardi, this graphic novel resonates powerfully at a time when the fight against injustice still rages.

About the Author :
Dominique Grange is a French singer-songwriter, activist, and comics translator whose career was kicked off with her 1968 protest song "Les Nouveaux Partisans" ("The New Partisans"). She and Tardi married in 1983. Tardi is a pioneering, internationally award-winning European cartoonist. His Adèle Blanc-Sec series was adapted into a feature by Luc Besson, and the animated film April and the Extraordinary World was inspired by his cartooning. He lives in Paris with his wife, the singer Dominique Grange, and their cats. Jenna Allen is a freelance translator based in Colorado.

Review :
Tardi's art is wonderful. ... His packed and detailed panels hone in on the essence of historical activity and provide vivid storytelling for the personal elements.-- "The Slings & Arrows" Elise and the New Partisans is the saga of a revolutionary generation. The youngsters were real, in their aspirations, their support for besieged populations everywhere, and just as real in some of their unwise tactics and ideological obsessions. Tardi and Grange have done a great thing bringing their stories back to life.--Paul Buhle "Comics Grinder" A dramatic and defiant raised-fist of a story.-- "Publishers Weekly" Grange's strong narrative voice is the #1 reason this volume succeeds, but Tardi's art also plays a key role in that effort. Using ink and wash, he draws backgrounds with sufficient realism that you may think you have jumped into a time machine to tour the contemporary locations where the events take place.-- "The Arts STL" The story of the fictional Elise is a thinly veiled autobiography by Dominique Grange, brought to vivid life by the masterful lines of Jacques Tardi.-- "Cinema Sentries" A multifaceted portrait of a person, and of an era [that] feels relevant and timely. ... Tardi's cartoonlike characters--depicted in realistic, harshly lit, black-and-white Parisian street settings--come to life as he draws on memories of the early activism of his longtime partner, the French singer Dominique Grange.-- "The New Yorker" This comic is a raw, counter-cultural document. Tardi and Grange reconstruct a history of protest and deliver a testimony.-- "L'Humanité" 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"
