About the series
In this brief, two-issue series from Delcourt (2002–2006), artist Philippe Castaza brings to life the stark, mythic landscapes of the French highlands. Les Contes des Hautes Terres is a spare, atmospheric collection of folkloric tales, its haunting visuals and quiet storytelling capturing a vanishing world of tradition and solitude. Though short, it stands as a distinctive, evocative work from Castaza, showcasing his ability to imbue every panel with a sense of place and melancholy.
