Beatrice

Joris Mertens writes and draws this wordless, atmospheric comic from Belgian publisher Oogachtend, which began in 2019. Following a solitary woman navigating a moody, rain-slicked city, the series unfolds entirely through expressive, cinematic visuals and quiet, detailed paneling. With only a single issue released so far, Beatrice stands out for its meditative, dialogue-free storytelling that evokes the silent-film tradition. It's a distinctive, slow-burn work that rewards close attention to its visual rhythms and urban melancholy.
