Cayenne

A slow-burning French graphic novel series from Albin Michel, launched in 2005 and ongoing, Cayenne is a single-issue work that explores the tense, humid atmosphere of its titular French Guianan setting. The series is most associated with its creators, who weave a moody, character-driven story of crime, exile, and the lingering shadows of colonial history. Its concise, self-contained format makes it a potent, atmospheric entry in the European bande dessinée tradition.
