L'enfant océan

A one-shot graphic novel from Editions Jungle (2020), L'enfant océan adapts Jean-Claude Mourlevat's award-winning novel into a poignant comic. It tells the story of a young boy who flees his abusive home with his brothers, embarking on a desperate journey across the French countryside toward the ocean. The adaptation is handled by writer Jean-Christophe Camus and artist Claire de Gastold, whose watercolor-style art brings a dreamlike, emotional weight to the tale. This single-issue series matters as a faithful, visually striking translation of a modern French literary classic for a new generation of readers.
