Jane

A brief but distinctive three-issue series from Casterman, Jane (1998–2002) reimagines the classic Brontë heroine as a modern, independent woman navigating love and art in a contemporary setting. Known for its elegant, emotionally resonant storytelling, the series is most associated with writer and artist Jean-Claude Bartoll, whose lush, expressive artwork brings a fresh, introspective tone to the source material. Though short, it stands as a thoughtful, visually striking example of late-1990s European comics adapting literary classics with a feminist sensibility.
