Professional practices related to the sphere of influence of television and transmedia adaptations played a significant historical role in the cultural transfer of manga in France, Italy and Spain in the late 1970s. Diverted from their initial communication circuit in order to be reterritorialized in an unintended context, Japanese comic books underwent multiple transformations in order to correspond to local conventions. Local companies created cartoon adaptations of manga before importing Japanese works by modifying them according to the needs of their distribution networks. If fiction can circulate globally by being embodied in different media, the format remains a strongly contextualized element that is more difficult to deterritorialize: it materializes a history of creation and reception practices, distinct for each country.

This article offers a reflexive review on the production of a sociological comic book examining the detention of juvenile offenders in Montréal (Se battre contre les murs. Un sociologue en centre jeunesse). It starts from a simple premise : the translation of research into the visual language of drawing goes beyond mere illustration into storyboarding, which could be taken on by the illustrators or complemented by other people (editors, those responsible for data collection, etc.). The first level of the article describes the concrete details of illustrated sociology and the division of labour involved in this act, beyond the duo formed by the researcher and the illustrator. In so doing, it deciphers the—always subjective—writing choices that this storyboarding work requires : what book are we trying to create and with what intentions (analytic ? ethical ? political ?) have we created it ? At a second level, the article poses broader questions about the work of sociology, by explaining the choices, intentions and, ultimately, the relationship to the critical that any sociology writing involves, from the most academic to the most simplified.

Although comics obviously did not wait until the 21st century to use the social fact of the prison as a significant topic, the recent renewal of the medium is not unrelated to the rise of this theme in several comic book albums. Indeed, the growing importance of prison as a topic in comics is linked to what is typically called “reportage comics”, developed especially by Etienne Davodeau and Joe Sacco, and which has the explicit goal to create emotional empathy and solidarity between the people portrayed and the reader. 20 ans ferme is a docudrama produced in this context by Ricard & Nicoby (2012) which also carries out a genuinely didactic and militant objectives. Moreover, the recent decades have seen the development of autobiographical stories like those from Manu Larcenet or Fabien Neaud, which depict ordinary situations and present characters that are prisoners of their own condition. Autofiction and testimony are genres particularly conducive to the development of a discourse on the prison. Thus, in L'Évasion (2011) Berthet One offers a humorous autofictional testimony about a real prison experience, while Bast, in En chienneté, recounts his experience as a facilitator of a comics workshop within prison, while using internal focalization to underscore the self-reflexivity of the situation.
