About the series
In Nocturnes rouges, a seven-issue series published by Soleil from 2001 to 2012, creator Christophe Bec crafts a dark, atmospheric tale of a detective investigating a series of gruesome murders in a small French town, where the line between the natural and the supernatural blurs. Known for his meticulous, cinematic storytelling, Bec weaves a slow-burn horror mystery that leans on mood and dread rather than jump scares. This series stands as a compelling example of European horror comics from the early 2000s, showcasing Bec's talent for building tension and his distinctive, shadow-drenched art style.
