Mardi gris

Set in a moody, rain-soaked New Orleans, Mardi gris is a one-shot comic from Jean-Pierre Faur éditeur that reimagines the city's famous carnival as a somber, atmospheric mystery. Written and drawn by the series' sole creator, the 1996 issue offers a concise, self-contained noir tale where the festivities give way to a haunting, off-season quiet. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive, single-issue meditation on the shadow side of celebration.
