About the series
In this short-lived but striking French miniseries from Delcourt, a group of strangers is mysteriously drawn together by a shared, grotesque vision of a monstrous crab, forcing them to confront a dark secret lurking beneath their coastal town. Running just three issues from 2007 to 2010, the series is remembered for its atmospheric, surreal horror and the distinctive, moody artwork of its primary creator, who blends psychological dread with visceral body horror. A cult gem of European comics, it matters for its tight, unsettling narrative that proves a powerful story doesn't need a long run to leave a lasting impression.
