Journal

A four-issue series from the French publisher Ego comme X, Journal ran from 1996 to 2002, offering a deliberately fragmented, introspective look at everyday life through a minimalist, black-and-white aesthetic. Associated with the European alternative comics scene of the late 1990s, it stands as a quiet, influential meditation on the comic form itself, using sparse panels and observational detail to explore memory and routine. Its significance lies in its stark, poetic restraint, a distinctive voice that helped define the publisher's early output.
