Lena

A quiet, contemplative graphic novel from Dargaud Benelux, Lena (2011–present) follows its titular character through a single, self-contained story of personal reflection and quiet drama. Written by Pierre Christin and brought to life with the elegant, detailed linework of artist André Juillard, the book stands as a subtle character study from two of the most respected figures in European comics. Its intimate scope and restrained storytelling mark it as a thoughtful, understated gem in the creators' long careers.
