La Fourmilière

In La Fourmilière, Michael DeForge constructs a surreal, sprawling ecosystem for Atrabile, where bizarre insectoid societies and grotesque transformations mirror human anxieties. First published in 2015, this single-issue comic distills DeForge’s signature blend of vibrant, unsettling art and deadpan, absurdist storytelling into a dense, one-shot world. It stands as a concentrated example of his ability to make the alien feel intimately familiar.
