La peau de chagrin

A single-issue comic adaptation from 1998, published by Albin Michel, that brings Honoré de Balzac's novel La Peau de Chagrin into the graphic medium. The story is most associated with the talents of artist and writer Philippe Druillet, who captures the fantastical and tragic dimensions of the magical, self-consuming skin that grants its owner's wishes at a terrible cost. Though a standalone work, it stands as a vivid, visually striking interpretation of a classic French literary tale.
