Jour J (comics)

Jour J ('D-day') is an ongoing French alternate history anthology comic book series published by Delcourt. Each volume presents a different what if history scenario in which a major historical event either don't not happen or takes a drastically different direction than what actually happened in our world.

For the most part each volume is a stand-alone story with the exceptions of volumes 3 and 4 which follow each other, volumes 14, 18 and 21 which together form a trilogy, volumes 22 and 24, volumes 23 and 28, volumes 26 and 34, volumes 29, 30 and 31, volumes 32 and 33, volumes 37, 39, 41, volumes 38 and 40, volumes 42 to 44 and finally Volume 46 and 47. Each story is illustrated by a different artist.

In July 2015 Delcourt made an exclusivity deal with Amazon to translate and publish 150 Delcourt titles into English and publish them on ComiXology with Jour J being one of those titles.^[1] The series would be renamed to "What if" for an English audience, with only 2 issues of Jour J being officially publish into English as of 2022^[2] (Issue No. 1 & Issue No. 5).
