Paper Peril

A single-issue comic from Fantagraphics, Paper Peril (2019–present) is a self-contained graphic narrative by artist Jean-Baptiste Bourgois. The series explores a surreal, wordless journey through a world constructed from paper and ink, where the physical act of drawing becomes the story's central drama. Bourgois's meticulous, hand-drawn style transforms the comic itself into a tactile object, making the book a meditation on the medium's own materiality. It stands as a distinctive, artist-driven work that pushes the boundaries of sequential art.
