About the series
A darkly satirical miniseries from Glénat, Le Goulag (1996–2002) reimagines the Soviet penal system as a grimly absurd, bureaucratic nightmare over the course of three issues. The series is most associated with its unflinching, blackly comic tone and its stark, detailed art, which captures the crushing monotony and casual cruelty of the camp. Though brief, it stands as a sharp, unsettling European graphic novel commentary on totalitarianism, blending historical horror with surrealist humor.
