Delphine

Richard Sala's Delphine, a four-issue series from Fantagraphics in 2006–2007, is a gothic mystery soaked in the creator's signature blend of shadowy, cartoonish horror and dark fairy-tale logic. Written and drawn entirely by Sala, it follows a young woman's eerie, perilous journey into a strange town and its secrets, where the line between the mundane and the monstrous blurs. A compact, atmospheric work, it stands as a prime example of Sala's singular vision—a master of the macabre who used deceptively simple art to build unsettling, unforgettable worlds.
