L'Ombre du Corbeau

A haunting, self-contained graphic novel from Le Lombard, L'Ombre du Corbeau is the sole work of Belgian master Didier Comès, who both wrote and painted its stark black-and-white world. Published in 1981, this single issue stands as a powerful example of Comès's signature style—a dark, folkloric tale set in a rural landscape, where the line between the natural and the supernatural blurs. It endures as a landmark of European graphic storytelling, a quiet, atmospheric masterpiece that showcases an artist working at the peak of his singular vision.
