Iriacynthe

In 1982, Belgian creators Jacques Cornerotte and Jean-Claude Servais launched Iriacynthe with Rijperman / Drukwerk, a single-issue comic that introduces a hauntingly poetic fantasy world. Servais, who both writes and illustrates the story, brings his signature delicate, nature-infused linework to this brief but atmospheric tale. Though it stands as a lone publication, the issue endures as a quiet gem of early-'80s European comics, showcasing Servais's emerging voice as a storyteller of lyrical, folkloric sensibilities.
