“Le mycologue et le caïman”

About this Collection

This standalone graphic novel from Dargaud follows a mycologist who becomes entangled with a caiman in a surreal, ecological adventure. The story blends scientific curiosity with fantastical elements, showcasing the artist's distinctive linework and narrative style typical of late-1980s Franco-Belgian comics.

In "Le mycologue et le caïman," writer Pierre Christin and artist Jean Vern launch a quirky, atmospheric journey as Lévine is sent on a mysterious reconnaissance mission with no clear purpose. Lost in a chain of cryptic clues and blind alleys, he navigates rural France by train and a battered 4L, chasing culinary delights that always slip through his fingers. The story unfolds with dry wit and visual flair, its distinctive look shaped by Jean Vern’s unified art and coloring, and a cover by Jean Vern that captures the tale’s offbeat charm.
