Les innommables

In the mid-1980s, French publisher Glénat released this brief, two-issue series from artist Didier Conrad, a darkly satirical and surreal horror-comedy that skewers military bureaucracy and cosmic dread. Set during World War I, it follows a hapless French battalion assigned to an impossible mission against an otherworldly threat, blending Conrad's detailed, expressive cartooning with grim absurdist humor. Though short-lived, Les innommables stands as a cult artifact of European comics, showcasing Conrad's early mastery of tone—balancing slapstick and existential terror—before his later, more famous work.
