Iriacynthe

A singular, poetic one-shot from 1982, Iriacynthe is a Belgian comic that distills the lyrical folk-horror style of writer/artist Jean-Claude Servais into a single, haunting issue. Published in the era of mature European albums, the story unfolds through Servais's delicate, naturalistic linework and the atmospheric script he co-wrote with Jacques Cornerotte. This brief but resonant work stands as an early, pure example of Servais's signature blend of rural melancholy and the supernatural, marking a quiet but essential entry in his celebrated career.
