La Nuit

Philippe Druillet’s La Nuit (1976–present, Les Humanoïdes Associés) is a singular, visionary comic that blends psychedelic science fiction with baroque, architectural fantasy. Created entirely by Druillet, this single-issue series stands as a landmark of the French bande dessinée movement, showcasing his signature fusion of dense, ornate linework and cosmic storytelling. Its enduring influence lies in its uncompromising, avant-garde approach to the medium, a touchstone for the ambition and artistry of the Métal Hurlant era.
