Les Iconovores

In the near-future world of Les Iconovores (2016–2018, Critères Éditions), a mysterious phenomenon allows people to physically consume and absorb the essence of cultural icons—from art to music to history—literally devouring fame and meaning. This eight-issue series explores a society where identity and power are shaped by what you ingest, blending sharp social commentary with surreal, visually inventive storytelling. While the series is concise, its premise offers a biting, philosophical take on celebrity, memory, and the commodification of culture, making it a standout in European independent comics.
