Babel

In the mid-2000s, Fantagraphics published this single-issue comic by French cartoonist David B., co-written with translator Kim Thompson. A meditation on language and visual storytelling, Babel explores the artist's lifelong fascination with the Tower of Babel myth and the inherent chaos of communication. It stands as a compact, personal work from a celebrated graphic novelist, offering a glimpse into his creative process and thematic obsessions.
