Clown

Clown (2021–present) is a single-issue comic from Swiss publisher La Joie de Lire, a house known for its eclectic, often avant-garde children’s and young-adult books. The series launches with a wordless, surrealist story that follows a melancholy clown through a dreamlike landscape, exploring themes of loneliness and performance through expressive, painterly art. It stands out as a quiet, atmospheric entry in the publisher’s catalog, showcasing how a simple premise can carry emotional weight without dialogue.
