Although comics obviously did not wait until the 21st century to use the social fact of the prison as a significant topic, the recent renewal of the medium is not unrelated to the rise of this theme in several comic book albums. Indeed, the growing importance of prison as a topic in comics is linked to what is typically called “reportage comics”, developed especially by Etienne Davodeau and Joe Sacco, and which has the explicit goal to create emotional empathy and solidarity between the people portrayed and the reader. 20 ans ferme is a docudrama produced in this context by Ricard & Nicoby (2012) which also carries out a genuinely didactic and militant objectives. Moreover, the recent decades have seen the development of autobiographical stories like those from Manu Larcenet or Fabien Neaud, which depict ordinary situations and present characters that are prisoners of their own condition. Autofiction and testimony are genres particularly conducive to the development of a discourse on the prison. Thus, in L’Évasion (2011) Berthet One offers a humorous autofictional testimony about a real prison experience, while Bast, in En chienneté, recounts his experience as a facilitator of a comics workshop within prison, while using internal focalization to underscore the self-reflexivity of the situation. Therefore, by focusing on the above-mentioned works, this article addresses the intertextual dimensions and reflexivity of comics that have the prison as their as main theme.
