Bad Reputation

In this two-issue series from Dark Dragon Books (2022–2024), writer Antoine Ozanam, with collaborators Ben Kamphuis and Mariella Manfré, and artist Emmanuel Bazin craft a tight, character-driven story about a musician grappling with the weight of a tarnished legacy. The narrative explores the clash between public perception and private truth, set against a moody, visually expressive European comic style. Though brief, Bad Reputation stands as a focused meditation on redemption and identity, showcasing Bazin’s evocative linework and Ozanam’s knack for layered, introspective storytelling.
