The Stranger (French: L'étranger) is a 2013 comic book written and illustrated by Jacques Ferrandez. It is based on the novel The Stranger by Albert Camus and depicts a seemingly indifferent Frenchman before and after he shoots an Arab to death in French Algeria.[1]
Ferrandez was born in Algiers and his grandparents had a shoe shop in Belcourt across the street from where Camus grew up. He decided to make an adaptation of The Stranger for the 100th anniversary of Camus' birth.[2] The comic book was published in English translation in 2016.[3]
