Haute Mer

Set against the stark, unforgiving backdrop of the open ocean, Haute Mer is a French maritime thriller from Glénat that launched in 1993. Though the series has only one issue to date, it is distinguished by its atmospheric, detailed artwork and a tense, slow-burn narrative exploring survival and isolation. The project is most closely associated with its writer and artist, whose combined talents create a visually immersive, claustrophobic world where the sea itself becomes a central, silent character. Its singular, focused release makes it a distinctive, if brief, entry in the publisher's catalog of European graphic novels.
