The past three decades saw the emergence of a new trend of graphic novels that depict individual and collective trauma and violence. This article briefly explores the historical and cultural conditions that favored the appearance of trauma narratives in the graphic novel. It also studies one of the many re-figurations of Sara Baartman in the graphic novel, Vénus Noire (2010) by Renaud Pennelle and Abdellatif Kechiche and explores how the graphic novel can contribute to an understanding of black sexuality and scientific portrayal of the body of indigenous people (Baartman in our case) by studying the social and cultural conditions of people of color in Europe and colonies in the eighteenth century
