L'Arbre vengeur #[nn]
This collected edition from L'Association gathers the complete story of 'L'Arbre vengeur,' a surreal and darkly humorous tale originally serialized in 1995. The narrative follows a mysterious, vengeful tree that uproots itself to exact peculiar retribution on a small French village, blending absurdist fantasy with sharp social commentary. The volume showcases the distinctive, minimalist ligne claire style and deadpan storytelling that define this cult classic from the alternative comics scene.
In this 1995 issue from L'Association, a quiet moment at a table unfolds into a haunting tale as a guest recounts the story of a painter and a lumberjack—two lives entwined by silence, memory, and the weight of the forest. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Vincent Vanoli, the story’s stark, deliberate art and restrained narration give it a timeless, almost mythic quality, all rendered in Vanoli’s unmistakable hand on both page and cover.
