Hicksville

Dylan Horrocks and Monique Laxalt’s Hicksville is a quietly influential series from the French publisher L’Association, begun in 2001. It explores the world of comic book culture through the lens of a small New Zealand town that is a secret haven for cartoonists and collectors. The series is notable for its metafictional meditation on the nature of comics and the industry, offering a thoughtful, insider’s perspective on the art form.
