Kalma

In the early 1990s, the French publisher Semic launched Kalma, a 15-issue anthology series that showcased a dark, sophisticated blend of science fiction and fantasy. The series is most notable for its striking, atmospheric art, with frequent contributions from visionary talents like Brendan McCarthy, Dave McKean, and John Bolton. Kalma stands as a distinctive European imprint on the era's alternative comics landscape, offering a moody, visually experimental alternative to mainstream superhero fare.
