About the series
Marc-Antoine Mathieu's singular series Julius Corentin Acquefacques, prisonnier des rêves unfolds as a mind-bending, metafictional exploration of reality and narrative itself, published by Delcourt since 1990. Across its seven issues, Mathieu serves as both writer and artist, crafting a dreamlike saga where the protagonist—a prisoner of dreams—navigates a world that constantly breaks the fourth wall, with pages folding, panels multiplying, and the very structure of the comic book becoming part of the story. The series is celebrated for its profound, playful deconstruction of the medium, making it a landmark in avant-garde comics that challenges how readers perceive sequential art.
