Ivan Casablanca

Claude Renard and Fromental crafted this short-lived but visually arresting French series for Les Humanoïdes Associés, following the enigmatic Ivan Casablanca through a strange, atmospheric world. Renard's lush, detailed artwork brought a European sensibility to a narrative that blended espionage with surrealism across its two-issue run. A cult artifact of mid-80s bande dessinée, it remains a showcase for Renard's distinctive style and the publisher's adventurous spirit.
