Die Mauern von Samaris

In Die Mauern von Samaris, Belgian artist François Schuiten and writer Benoît Peeters (working here with Ömür Gül and Resel Rebiersch) expand their celebrated Cités Obscures universe into a single-issue German-language comic from Schreiber & Leser, launched in 2015. This standalone story explores the mysterious, labyrinthine city of Samaris, where shifting walls and surreal architecture challenge a traveler's perception of reality. A key entry in a larger, decades-spanning architectural fantasy series, it showcases Schuiten’s signature detailed, dreamlike environments and the team’s fascination with urban enigmas.
