Little Tulip

In this haunting graphic novel from 2016, writer Jerome Charyn and artist François Boucq explore a young man's struggle to survive the brutal reality of a Soviet gulag, where his talent as a tattoo artist becomes both a curse and a means of endurance. Published by Dover Publications as a single-issue work, Little Tulip pairs Charyn's stark, emotionally charged narrative with Boucq's expressive, shadow-drenched artwork to create a powerful meditation on art, identity, and resilience under oppression.
