Kong-Kong

In this two-issue series from Casterman (2018–2019), writer Vincent Villeminot and artist Yann Autret craft a tight, self-contained story that reimagines the classic giant ape mythos. The book explores themes of isolation and spectacle through a modern lens, with Autret’s expressive artwork grounding the fantastical premise in a gritty, human-scale drama. An efficient, atmospheric take on a familiar icon, Kong-Kong stands out for its concise storytelling and moody European comics sensibility.
