Two French journalists known for their critical writings about Moroccan King Mohammed VI have been arrested in France for allegedly trying to blackmail the monarch, according the Paris prosecutor's office and the king's lawyer.

Antonin Baudry and Nadja share their insights on graphic novels with Florence Noiville of Le Monde. A writer once quipped that the only difference between a graphic novel and a comic book is "the binding." Others argue there's a lot more to it than that.

Antonin Baudy, working under the pseudonym Abel Lanzac, chose the graphic novel form to write about his experience working at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Quai d'Orsay. Born in Alexandria, Nadja is the author of several graphic novels: The Man of My Dreams and Les Filles de Montparnasse. Join Antonin Baudry, Nadja, and Florence Noiville of Le Monde for a fascinating look at one of the fastest gr...
