La Forêt

In this haunting, wordless graphic novel from 2020, Swiss artist Thomas Ott spins a dark fairy tale set in a mysterious forest where a lone woodsman confronts the supernatural. Published by Martin de Halleux, the single-issue comic showcases Ott's signature scratchboard style, etching a brooding atmosphere that feels both timeless and unsettling. A masterclass in visual storytelling, La Forêt stands as a stark, beautiful example of how comics can convey profound dread without a single line of dialogue.
