Chien hurlant

A revival of the seminal French sci-fi anthology Métal Hurlant, Chien hurlant launched in 2022 from publisher La Boîte à Bulles. This single-issue debut reimagines the spirit of its predecessor for a new generation, featuring original stories that blend speculative fiction, dystopian visions, and surrealist art. The series is most closely associated with the creative team behind the original Métal Hurlant, though it introduces fresh voices alongside them, reaffirming the French bande dessinée tradition of boundary-pushing, adult-oriented comics. Its significance lies in reigniting a key influence on global comics and visual culture, particularly the cyberpunk and heavy-metal aesthetics that defined the 1970s and 1980s.
