Les contes cruels

A dark, self-contained French graphic novel from Tonkam, Les contes cruels (2009–present) offers a single, chillingly elegant issue that reimagines classic fairy tales with a macabre, psychological twist. The series is defined by its sophisticated, unsettling artwork and its refusal to soften the brutal moral ambiguities of the original stories. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive, mature entry in the European tradition of literary horror comics.
