Anthologie Ranpo Gekiga

A contemporary French-language series from Le Lézard Noir, Anthologie Ranpo Gekiga (2021–present) adapts the unsettling short stories of legendary Japanese mystery writer Edogawa Ranpo into stark, high-contrast gekiga-style comics. Though only one issue has been released so far, the anthology showcases a distinct, noir-infused visual approach that honors Ranpo's erotic-grotesque atmosphere. It matters as a cross-cultural project that bridges early 20th-century Japanese literary horror with modern European graphic storytelling.
