Freak Parade

A bold, surreal series from the French publisher Denoël, Freak Parade debuted in 2020 and explores a carnivalesque world of outsiders and misfits. Though only a single issue has been released so far, the book’s striking, offbeat art and narrative have already marked it as a distinctive entry in contemporary European comics. It matters for its willingness to push boundaries in both storytelling and visual style, offering a fresh, unflinching look at the strange and the marginalized.
