La petite fille et la cigarette

In this single-issue French graphic novel from La Boîte à Bulles, a condemned man's final request—a cigarette and a peculiar story—unfolds into a surreal, darkly comic meditation on mortality and memory. Published in 2016, the work adapts Benoît Duteurtre's novel of the same name, with art by Christian De Metter that captures the story's eerie, dreamlike atmosphere. Though a standalone release, it stands as a striking example of literary adaptation in contemporary European comics.
