Les Terres Creuses

A short, visually stunning science-fantasy series from Les Humanoïdes Associés, Les Terres Creuses (1980–1990) pairs writer Luc Schuiten with his brother, artist François Schuiten, for a mere three issues. The story explores a hollow Earth populated by fantastical ecosystems and lost civilizations, rendered in the meticulous, dreamlike architectural style that would later make François Schuiten famous. Though brief, the series is a foundational work for fans of the Schuitens' imaginative world-building and a key precursor to their celebrated Cités Obscures universe.
