Solange

A quiet gem of the European bande dessinée world, Solange made her entrance in the pages of (À Suivre) in 1985, the celebrated Casterman anthology that championed literary, adult-oriented comics during the Bronze Age. Created by Jean-Claude Denis, she anchors her own titled series with the understated elegance that (À Suivre) was known for — a world away from capes and cosmic battles, rooted instead in the intimate, novelistic storytelling that defined Franco-Belgian comics at their most sophisticated. Her catalog footprint may be small, but that only makes each appearance the more worth seeking out for collectors with a taste for the road less traveled.
