Les aventures de Black et du supreme Mortamère

In the mid-2000s, the French publisher Le Cycliste released a short but striking two-issue series, Les aventures de Black et du supreme Mortamère, a taut, atmospheric comic that pairs a shadowy protagonist named Black with the enigmatic figure of the supreme Mortamère. Known for its lean, noir-inflected storytelling and distinctive European comic art, this brief run captures a moment when Le Cycliste was cultivating a reputation for moody, offbeat genre work. Though its run was brief, the series remains a cult touchstone for fans of French independent comics, showcasing the publisher's eye for stark, memorable character dynamics.
