Le Roi des fleuves

In Le Roi des fleuves, Swiss publisher Atrabile launched a singular comic series in 2009 that, as of a single issue, explores the mythic and ecological dimensions of a great river. The project is most associated with the distinctive, expressive storytelling of its creators, who bring a contemplative, almost fable-like quality to the page. It matters as a quiet, deliberate work within the European small-press tradition, offering a meditation on nature and power that stands apart from more commercial fare.
