The first biographical comic book representation on iconic figure and Catholic Saint Maximilien Kolbe, canonised by Pope John Paul II in 1982, a hero in the hell of concentration camps.

Auschwitz, end of July 1941. Franciscan Maximilien Kolbe makes the ultimate sacrifice. He bargains his life in exchange for a father's. This heroic end should not outshine other aspects of his extraordinary life : a journalist, the originator of a gigantic press adventure, a missionary in Japan... The life of Maximilien Kolbe was astoundingly rich for a man who only aspired for a humble life. Maximilien Kolbe is the fourth historical comic uniting the talents of Jean-François Vivier and Denoël.
