Automnal

A quiet, hauntingly beautiful French comic from 404 éditions, Automnal (2021–present) unfolds the story of a young woman returning to her rural hometown to face the ghosts of her past—both literal and figurative. With only one issue released so far, the series is defined by its atmospheric, autumnal art and a deliberate, melancholic pacing that draws readers into a world of small-town secrets and supernatural undercurrents. The project is most closely associated with its writer and artist, who together craft a visual and narrative tone that feels both intimate and unsettling. Though still in its early stages, Automnal stands out for its quiet, character-driven take on horror, promising a slow-burn mystery rooted in emotional resonance rather than cheap scares.
