Le Sablier

In the late 2000s, Dargaud published Le Sablier, a ten-issue series that unfolds as a taut, atmospheric thriller. The narrative centers on a mysterious hourglass that grants its possessor the ability to manipulate time, leading to a gripping exploration of power and consequence. Written by Pierre Boisserie and Éric Stalner, with art by Stalner, the series is a standout example of French comics' sophisticated approach to science fiction and suspense. Its tight, self-contained run and thought-provoking premise make it a memorable entry in the Dargaud catalog.
