The Butchery

In The Butchery (2021–present, Fantagraphics), Bastien Vivès orchestrates a stark, single-issue vision of culinary and moral decay. This debut comic from the acclaimed French creator pairs his signature, minimalist linework with a grimly satirical premise, exploring the brutal realities behind a high-end butcher shop. As the first entry in an ongoing series, it establishes a claustrophobic world where flesh, commerce, and violence are inextricably linked, marking a bold, uncompromising addition to Vivès's body of work.
