L'Arrache-coeur

Boris Mocaer's L'Arrache-coeur (2012–present, Delcourt) is a poetic and unsettling fantasy series that reimagines the classic French novel by Boris Vian. The story follows a mysterious child born in a surreal village where emotions are literally plucked from the air, blending whimsy with a dark, philosophical undercurrent. Mocaer's lush, watercolor-like art brings this dreamlike world to life, making the series a striking example of contemporary French graphic literature. Though only a single issue has been released so far, its evocative atmosphere and faithful yet inventive adaptation have earned it a devoted cult following.
