Toby Dammit

In this single-issue series from 2021, French publisher Une idée bizarre reimagines the classic Edgar Allan Poe character Toby Dammit—a reckless gambler who literally bets his head—in a modern, surrealist context. With spare, atmospheric art and a darkly comic tone, the comic distills Poe's macabre fable into a concise, haunting vignette. It stands as a curious, one-shot homage to the author's lesser-known tales, offering a fresh entry point for fans of literary horror in comics.
