La ville qui n'existait pas

In 1977, Pierre Christin and Enki Bilal launched this single, self-contained album for Dargaud, a haunting speculative fiction story that examines the psychological weight of an invisible, unlivable city. The book distills the duo's signature blend of political allegory and surreal, painterly science fiction into a tightly focused, atmospheric fable. It stands as a landmark of French bande dessinée, a concise, powerful collaboration between two of the medium's most celebrated creators.
