Masked Noise

Masked Noise, a 18-issue French comic series from Glénat published between 2016 and 2021, follows a young woman who, after a traumatic event leaves her unable to speak, discovers she can only express herself through music—and finds her voice as the anonymous singer of a masked rock band. The series blends intimate character drama with the vibrant energy of the music scene, exploring themes of identity, trauma, and creative liberation. Primarily associated with writer and artist Mathieu Reynès, the series is notable for its expressive, kinetic artwork that visually translates the rhythm and emotion of its musical core.
