| Summary: | Between 2008 and 2021, coal mining communities has been a source of inspiration for several authors of Franco-Belgian comic books. This article points out narrative and figurative continuities or discontinuities in describing the coal mining world compared to other forms of artistic production. Three main approaches are considered here. The first is to perceive the mining communities as a social microcosm, an allegory of social interactions in an industrialized society and between dominant and dominated. The second approach focuses on the quest for realism, which is a commonplace in coal mining representations, but in which comic books authors took some creative liberties and sometimes a surprising lyricism. The last approach aims to observe how comic book authors depicted post-coal exploitation through various issues such as immigration or cultural regeneration. |
