Jade

From 2006 to 2015, the French publisher 6 Pieds Sous Terre released Jade, a 16-issue comic series that blends surreal, poetic storytelling with a distinctive, often minimalist visual style. Most closely associated with writer-artist Boris Mirroir, whose work alongside David Vandermeulen, L. L. De Mars, and Oriane Lassus shaped its run, the series is notable for its quiet, atmospheric exploration of memory, identity, and the uncanny. Jade matters as a key work in the European alternative comics scene of the 2000s, offering a meditative, art-house approach that stands apart from more mainstream genre fare.
