Le Fléau vert

A haunting science-fiction comic from Casterman, Le Fléau vert (2012–present) envisions a near-future France ravaged by a mysterious, fast-spreading green blight that transforms both landscape and society. The series, which began with a single issue, is the work of writer and artist Éric Stalner, whose detailed, atmospheric art grounds the ecological thriller in a tense, human-scale drama. Its premise—a creeping, sentient vegetation overtaking civilization—resonates as a quiet, urgent meditation on environmental collapse, making it a distinctive voice in European graphic fiction.
