Cette ville te tuera

In the 2015 graphic novel Cette ville te tuera, French publisher Cornélius presents a stark, self-contained one-shot that uses the city itself as both setting and antagonist. Known for its clean, minimalist ligne claire style and a narrative that explores isolation and urban alienation, the book stands as a singular, potent statement from the contemporary European comics scene. It matters as a distilled example of how a single, carefully crafted issue can capture a complete, resonant vision of a place and its psychological toll.
