Les Noyés

In the stark, rain-slicked streets of a nameless city, Les Noyés (The Drowned) plunges readers into a quiet, atmospheric mystery from French publisher La Boîte à Bulles. Launched in 2006, this single-issue comic follows a solitary detective haunted by a series of drownings that seem to defy explanation, blending noir sensibility with a poetic, melancholic tone. The series is a standout for its evocative black-and-white art and its meditation on memory and loss, establishing the publisher’s reputation for thoughtful, adult-oriented graphic narratives.
