Once upon a time in France (Il etait une fois en France) is a series of comic of Fabien Nury (scenario) and Sylvain Valley (drawing), published by Editions Glénat in 2007.
It traces a fictionalized version of the life of Joseph Joanovici, a Romanian Jewish scrap metal dealer, became one of the richest men in France and was, during the Second World War, both close to the Gestapo in Paris and main provider of funds of the Resistance.
According to the warning at the beginning of each album, the story freely mixes historical facts, assumptions and deliberate inventions.
