Le Docteur Héraclius Gloss

A single-issue French comic from Delcourt, Le Docteur Héraclius Gloss (2004–present) adapts a Guy de Maupassant novella into a graphic narrative. The story follows an eccentric scholar whose obsession with a medieval philosopher leads him into a world of delusion and dark humor. This concise, standalone work showcases Delcourt's tradition of literary adaptations, bringing a lesser-known Maupassant tale to a comics readership.
