L'Homme qui marche

François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters' L'Homme qui marche, published by Casterman in 1995, is a single-issue graphic novel that stands as a standalone, meditative work within their acclaimed Les Cités obscures universe. This brief but resonant tale follows a solitary wanderer traversing a vast, surreal landscape, exploring themes of movement, perception, and the relationship between the individual and the built environment. It matters as a concentrated distillation of the duo's signature architectural fantasy and philosophical storytelling, offering a quiet, powerful entry point into their celebrated series.
