L'Échelle de Richter

A cerebral French graphic novel series from Gallimard, launched in 2021, L'Échelle de Richter uses the Richter scale as a metaphor to explore the tremors of human connection and memory. The series' single issue is a self-contained, artistically ambitious work that examines how seismic emotional events reshape our lives. It stands out for its sophisticated visual storytelling and its willingness to treat personal upheaval with the precision of a scientific measurement.
