Basil & Victoria

Published in the mid-1990s by Jalava, Basil & Victoria is a brief but memorable two-issue comic series that explores the quiet, melancholic relationship between its titular characters. Created by artist and writer Yann, the series is known for its delicate, atmospheric artwork and understated storytelling, offering a poignant character study rather than a sprawling adventure. Though short-lived, it stands as a distinctive example of European-influenced independent comics from the era, prized for its emotional depth and visual elegance.
