La Saison des anguilles

In La Saison des anguilles, a single, self-contained volume from Dargaud, the story unfolds in a small French village where the annual eel harvest stirs up buried secrets and tensions among its inhabitants. Published in 1996, this graphic novel stands as a quiet, atmospheric character study, capturing a specific rural moment with a sense of place and unease. While the series has not continued beyond this issue, its concise, focused narrative offers a distinctive entry in Franco-Belgian comics, notable for its intimate scale and evocative storytelling.
