L'Autoroute sauvage

In the near-future landscape of L'Autoroute sauvage (2015–2017, Les Humanoïdes Associés), a mysterious, self-aware highway system emerges as both a setting and a character, reshaping the lives of those who travel it. This three-issue series from the French publisher known for Metal Hurlant blends science fiction with existential road-trip storytelling, exploring themes of freedom, isolation, and technology’s hold on humanity. Written and illustrated by a creative team steeped in European comics tradition, its concise run offers a tight, atmospheric meditation on the open road as a digital prison. A cult favorite among fans of thoughtful, visually striking SF, it stands as a distinctive entry in the publisher’s legacy of boundary-pushing graphic novels.
