La Zone

In this taut, four-issue French thriller from Glénat (2010–2012), writer-artist Éric Stalner crafts a claustrophobic survival story set in a quarantined urban zone. The series follows a small group of people trapped inside a sealed-off city district after a mysterious catastrophe, forced to navigate both the physical dangers of their sealed environment and the escalating tensions among themselves. Stalner’s moody, detailed artwork and tight pacing make La Zone a compelling, self-contained exploration of human nature under extreme pressure.
