Abwärts

In Abwärts, Jacques Tardi adapts a Daniel Pennac novel into a stark, black-and-white graphic narrative from Swiss publisher Edition Moderne. The story follows a man whose life unravels after a mysterious accident, plunging him into a grim, surreal urban odyssey. Tardi’s meticulous ligne claire style and Pennac’s taut storytelling create a haunting, atmospheric thriller that stands as a notable European graphic novel collaboration.
