Barbara

Barbara, a two-issue series from Delcourt, launched in 2005 with a tightly focused narrative that explores the life of its enigmatic title character. Best known for the work of writer and artist Philippe Thirault, this concise story offers a character-driven glimpse into a specific moment of personal tension and mystery. Its significance lies in its deliberate, small-scale approach to storytelling, proving that a compelling comic can be built around a single, well-drawn figure without sprawling across dozens of issues.
