L'Odeur des garçons affamés

L'Odeur des garçons affamés, launched in 2016 by Casterman, is a hauntingly atmospheric one-shot comic that explores the raw, visceral bond between two young men on the fringes of society. Written by Loo Hui Phang and illustrated by Frédéric Rébéna, the story follows an isolated photographer and a mysterious drifter in the American West, their encounter charged with unspoken desire and primal hunger. This work matters for its lyrical, sensuous storytelling and its bold, painterly visuals, which together create a modern fable about loneliness and longing.
