Le Syndrome de Stendhal

In Le Syndrome de Stendhal (2017–present, Glénat), a single-issue comic from the French publisher, the story explores the psychological and artistic phenomenon named after the 19th-century writer, where overwhelming beauty triggers a physical and emotional crisis. Associated with the creative team behind the project, this concise work distills the tension between art's sublime power and the fragility of human perception. Its significance lies in its focused, one-shot approach to a niche cultural concept, offering a dense, visually-driven meditation within the European comics tradition.
