Bec-en-fer

In this short-lived but striking two-issue series from Dargaud (1998–1999), Bec-en-fer offers a gritty, character-driven tale set in a harsh, unforgiving world. Known for its intense, atmospheric art and tight storytelling, the series is most associated with its creator, who crafts a lean, memorable narrative that lingers beyond its brief run. It matters as a compact example of late-90s European comics that pack a full, resonant story into a minimal number of pages.
