Laurent Galandon has written several of graphic novels that shed light on the lives of overlooked populations and individuals, from the exiled children of L'Envolée sauvage, to the Romani people of Quand souffle le vent, to the children of agricultural prison colonies in Innocents coupables, to the Jewish French Resistance fighters in Vivre à en mourir (published in English as The Red Poster). When Laurent focuses on these underserved communities, he always approaches his subject matter with great sensitivity.
