The Congo Free State of King Leopold II, after years of silence and amnesia, is coming back in literary and artistic creation in Belgium. The 'Africa Dreams' series of Maryse and Jean-François Charles and Frédéric Bihel focuses on a controversial period of the Belgian colonial past and deconstructs the myth of Leopold. The article looks at the contribution of this comic on the history and memory map. It also analyzes the incorporation of historical documents in a fiction story and their re-appropriation by the authors, comparing them to the original photographs and cartoons.
