In November 2022, François Bourgeon concluded the third and final cycle of Les Passagers du vent, an exceptional saga which revolutionized French comics in many aspects from the end of the 1970s to the present day. This is an opportunity for Les Cahiers de la BD to come back to many aspects conveyed by this series, which is ultimately rather little studied apart from its documentary aspect. The contents of this issue include the following articles in particular: "The romance of François Bourgeon in the light of the great adventure novels of the 19th century", "Emblematic female characters", "From voodoo to the Paris Commune, spirits and revolution”, “On the influence of adventure cinema”, “Blacks from Africa and elsewhere in leading roles”, “Human sexuality as a realistic narrative argument”. Also with an analysis of many original plates which, until now, had never left the author's studio. The special editions of Cahiers de la BD offer a focus on a character or a series the history of comics. With a synthetic, approachable and analytical spirit, Les Cahiers de la BD want to be trendsetters, committed to the defense of quality comics, whether mainstream or alternative, contemporary or historical, by giving reading keys likely to interest the ancients and the moderns.
