Arq

Published by Delcourt from 1997 to 2015, Arq is a French science-fiction series that spans 18 issues, weaving a complex narrative around a mysterious, otherworldly artifact. The series is most closely associated with writer and artist Jean-Pierre Pécau, whose intricate world-building and detailed artwork defined its distinctive tone. Though its run was modest in length, Arq stands as a notable example of European speculative fiction, exploring themes of power and transformation through a unique, self-contained mythology.
