Cruelles

In 1986, Vents d'Ouest launched Cruelles, a single-issue comic that stands as a stark, self-contained vignette from the era's European adult-oriented bande dessinée scene. Known for its unflinching, often brutal storytelling, the series is most associated with its creators' sharp, minimalist style. This lone volume matters as a concentrated example of the publisher's early commitment to mature, genre-defying narratives.
