La clef des champs

Killoffer’s La clef des champs is a single-issue comic from 1993, published by the influential French indie house L’Association. In this early work, the artist-writer maps a surreal, labyrinthine journey through a forest of symbols, establishing the dense, crosshatched style and darkly playful storytelling that would define his career. It stands as a key artifact of the alternative French comics scene, showing Killoffer’s roots in the raw, experimental energy of the era.
