In 2017, at the "Maghreb des Livres"[5] in Paris, an event of which he designed the official poster,[6] Racim Benyahia presented his first comic book, "Constantine 1836" (Dalimen Editions, 2016), illustrating the first Battle of Constantine in 1836 featuring the resistance of Ahmed Bey against the colonial armies led by the Maréchal Clausel.[7] [8] The author insisted on the fact that although he added a personal touch, he remained as "faithful" as possible to the historical records related to this major battle in Algerian-French history.[9]
