L'Automne à Pékin (lit. 'The Autumn in Peking') is a 2017 French comic book by Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi. It is based on the novel Autumn in Peking by Boris Vian and revolves around two engineers who get involved in a love triangle as they construct a railway line near an archaeological site in the 1950s.[1] The Brizzis initially tried to make an animated feature film based on Vian's novel, announced in 2012 as under development at Les Armateurs.[2]
The comic book was published by Futuropolis on 14 September 2017.[3] BoDoï wrote that Vian pushed his faculty for absurdity extra far in Autumn in Peking, which does not have much of a coherent plot, and that the adaptation adds real value through its "graphic boldness".[4]
