Ici Même

A single, self-contained graphic novel from the late 1970s, Ici Même is a haunting collaboration between writer Jean-Claude Forest and artist Jacques Tardi, published by Casterman. The story unfolds in a strange, walled-off city district where a man is trapped in a surreal, bureaucratic nightmare, exploring themes of confinement and identity. This work stands as a notable meeting of two distinct French comic talents, blending Forest's speculative storytelling with Tardi's meticulous, atmospheric linework.
