Der Turm

In Der Turm (2014–present, Schreiber & Leser), the celebrated Belgian artist François Schuiten constructs a haunting, single-issue vision of a colossal, isolated tower—a silent, architectural meditation on isolation and the weight of vertical space. Published as a standalone album, this work distills Schuiten's signature "obscure cities" aesthetic into a stark, wordless narrative that invites readers to wander its impossible, dreamlike corridors. A quiet masterpiece of European comics, it stands as a pure showcase of Schuiten's ability to turn ink and line into atmosphere.
