About the series
A haunting, wordless graphic novel from Belgian publisher Casterman, Achterland is a singular, atmospheric work by artist and writer François Schuiten. Its lone 1982 issue presents a surreal, dreamlike journey through a desolate, architecturally strange landscape, establishing the meticulous, visionary style that would later define the celebrated Cités Obscures series. Though a brief entry, it stands as an early, essential touchstone for Schuiten's career and a quiet landmark of European graphic storytelling.
