Badlands

In Badlands (2019–present, Uitgeverij L), writer Éric Corbeyran and artist Piotr Kowalski craft a lean, three-issue story that drops readers into a stark, unforgiving landscape where survival is a constant, brutal negotiation. This European comic, published by Uitgeverij L, strips its world down to raw essentials, using Kowalski's expressive, gritty art to amplify a tense, character-driven drama. It stands as a compact, atmospheric thriller that proves a powerful narrative can be distilled into just a few issues.
