Beauty

Published by NBM beginning in 2023, Beauty is a single-issue comic by writer Hubert and artist Kerascoët, with translation by Joe Johnson. This darkly whimsical fable explores the burdens and dangers of extraordinary physical perfection in a world that covets it. The creative team, known for their elegant, unsettling fairy-tale collaborations, brings their signature blend of delicate art and biting social commentary to this self-contained story. It matters as a potent, compact work from a celebrated European cartooning duo.
