Julien Berjeaut
Julien Berjeaut, known by his pen name Jul, is a French comic book artist and writer celebrated for his work on the series 'Silex and the City.' His modern reinterpretation of classic tales often incorporates irony and contemporary themes. Recently, his adaptation of 'La Belle et la Bête' was at the center of controversy when the French Ministry of Education deemed it 'not suitable' for 10-year-olds without proper educational support, leading to the cancellation of the planned distribution of 800,000 copies. Jul has criticized this decision as a form of censorship, suggesting that it reflects deeper societal tensions regarding representation in literature.
