Contamination

In this taut 2018–2019 Dargaud miniseries, writer and artist combine for a three-issue thriller where a mysterious contagion spreads through a sealed urban environment. The story follows a small group of survivors as they grapple with paranoia and dwindling resources, their every choice shadowed by the invisible threat. Known for its stark, atmospheric linework and claustrophobic tension, Contamination distills a classic survival horror premise into a tight, unsettling arc. It stands as a focused example of European genre comics, proving that a lean, self-contained run can deliver a chillingly complete experience.
