About the series
A quiet, haunting fantasy series from Dupuis, La mémoire des arbres (1994–2004) follows the intertwined lives of characters bound to the secrets of a forest, where trees hold the memories of the past. Spanning twelve issues, the work is most closely associated with artist Jean-Claude Servais, whose lush, detailed watercolors evoke a timeless, folkloric atmosphere. The series matters for its meditative, poetic approach to the bande dessinée tradition, blending ecological themes with intimate human drama.
