Guimauve

Stéphane Blanquet’s Guimauve is a singular, one-issue comic from 1997, published by Cornélius, that distills his signature blend of whimsical grotesquerie into a concentrated, candy-colored nightmare. Written and drawn entirely by Blanquet, the book showcases his distinctive, finely hatched linework and surreal, often unsettling imagery, marking an early high point in his exploration of the uncanny. Though brief, it remains a cult touchstone for fans of European alternative comics, capturing the raw, unapologetic weirdness that defines Blanquet’s long-running career.
