Abstract
This essay explores ways in which Tardi’s adaptation marks the otherwise apolitical narrative with historical indicators. Through the comics medium and the prolific use of shifting signifiers and monikers, the text grapples with the uneasy notion of a national identity threatened by Nazi occupation and the legacy of WWII.
