Betty Blues

A gentle, melancholic fable from Editions Paquet, Betty Blues (2003–present) follows a solitary saxophonist and his beloved trumpet, Betty, in a world of jazz and longing. This single-issue debut, written and illustrated by a singular creative voice, quietly establishes itself as a poignant meditation on love, loss, and the music that lingers. Its intimate, watercolor-infused artwork and hushed narrative tone mark it as a distinctive, lyrical entry in the European graphic novel landscape.
