Die Laughing

André Franquin’s Die Laughing, published by Fantagraphics since 2018, collects the legendary Belgian creator’s darkly comedic short stories and one-page gags. Known for his expressive, kinetic linework and absurdist humor, Franquin here explores themes of mortality and modern anxiety with a mischievous, often macabre wit. This single-issue series distills the master cartoonist’s late-career brilliance into a compact, essential volume.
