Beautiful Darkness

In Beautiful Darkness, a group of tiny, doll-like beings must survive in a dark and dangerous forest after their idyllic home is destroyed. This haunting, wordless graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly (2018–present) is rendered in delicate watercolors by the French artist duo Kerascoët (Marie Pommepuy and Sébastien Cosset). A stark fable of innocence lost and the cruelty of nature, it stands as a powerful, unsettling work in contemporary comics.
