Bastard

Max de Radiguès crafts a raw, intimate drama in Bastard, a 2018 comic from Reprodukt that explores the turbulent aftermath of a single, life-altering mistake. Through stark, expressive artwork and a tightly focused narrative, de Radiguès examines guilt, responsibility, and the fragile bonds of family. This debut issue establishes a powerful, character-driven story that lingers on the quiet consequences of a moment's poor judgment.
