About the series
La Bête is a two-issue comic series from Dupuis, published between 2020 and 2023, that reimagines the classic tale of a mysterious beast through the distinctive artistic lens of Frank Pé and the storytelling of writer Zidrou. This intimate, atmospheric work explores themes of isolation and connection in a rural setting, with Pé’s lush, expressive linework bringing a tactile, almost cinematic quality to the narrative. Though brief in its run, the series stands as a compelling example of modern European graphic storytelling, pairing a celebrated Belgian cartoonist with a prolific writer to breathe new life into a familiar myth.
