In 2011, he took his first steps in the world of comics and published his first album, <em>Kirkenes<\/em> (Les Enfants rouges), written by Jonathan Ch\u00e2tel. In the same year, he wrote and illustrated Catalyse (Manolosanctis). It was with Pereira Pr\u00e9tend (Sarbacane, 2016), adapted from the novel by Antonio Tabucchi, that he became known to a wider audience. For this album, he received the RTL Grand Prix for comic books and the prize for historical comic books at the Festival Les Rendez-vous de l&#8217;Histoire in Blois, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, the author wrote Malaterre, a graphic novel published by Dargaud. The album, praised by critics, received the Grand Prix RTL de la bande dessin\u00e9e in 2018 and the Prix Premi\u00e8re du roman graphique in 2019. In 2020, he published La Fuite du cerveau (Dargaud), a humorous graphic novel about the crazy story of the theft of Albert Einstein&#8217;s brain. Between 2022 and 2024, he published Slava, now translated and published by Abrams ComicArts under the title Soviet Land in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pierre-Henry Gomont in Conversation: Soviet Land<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at 6 PM<\/strong><br>French Library, in partnership with Villa Albertine Boston<br>53 Malborough Street, Boston MA 02116<br><br>Join award-winning French graphic novelist Pierre-Henry Gomont for a conversation celebrating the launch of the new English translation of his acclaimed graphic novel <em>Soviet Land<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event is open to the public and will be followed by a Q&amp;A and a book signing.
