About the series
In this 2015–2016 miniseries from Delcourt, writer Serge Lehman and artist Stéphane Gess craft a moody, speculative thriller set in a near-future Paris where a mysterious, all-seeing surveillance system known as "L'Œil de la Nuit" begins to exert a disturbing influence over the city's inhabitants. Over three issues, the story blends noir atmosphere with science fiction, exploring themes of control, perception, and resistance through Gess's evocative, shadow-drenched artwork. A compact but potent entry in Lehman's body of work, it stands as a striking example of French bande dessinée's ability to merge genre storytelling with philosophical unease.
