La Petite Mort

A single-issue French comic from Delcourt, La Petite Mort (2020–present) is a surreal, darkly comedic exploration of death personified as a small, childlike figure. The series, associated with writer and artist Vincent Vanoli, reimagines the end of life not as a grim reaper but as a curious, almost playful presence navigating the mundane and absurd. Its brief, one-issue run offers a compact, philosophical fable that matters for its fresh, intimate take on mortality within the European comics tradition.
