Angèle et René

A quiet, melancholic series from Le Lombard, Angèle et René follows the intertwined lives of its two protagonists across nine issues published between 1997 and 2005. Best known for the sensitive, understated work of its writer and artist, the series explores themes of memory, solitude, and the subtle connections that form between people over time. Its gentle, introspective tone and delicate linework make it a standout example of European slice-of-life storytelling from the turn of the millennium.
