The theme of war and conflict runs through all of Comès’s graphic novels: *The Living God*, *The Master of Darkness*, *The Shadow of the Raven*, *Silence*, *The Weasel*, *Eva*, *The Heart-Tree*, *Iris*, *The House Where Trees Dream*, *The Tears of the Tiger*, *Dix de der*, etc.
Whether the stories are set in Native American prehistory, the 20th century or a science-fiction future, one theme recurs: the desire for domination exercised by the powerful over those considered inferior, and the often trivial pretexts that lead humans to clash, frequently escalating into genuine tragedies.
Following a retrospective exhibition dedicated to the author, the Musée de la Grande Ardenne is presenting an exhibition on the theme of conflict, focusing on Comès and war.
