Lucien

Lucien, published by Les Humanoïdes Associés, is a surreal and philosophical French comic series that ran for eleven issues between 1981 and 2011. Created by the singular talent of writer and artist François Schuiten, the series follows a solitary, introspective character navigating a dreamlike, labyrinthine world where architecture and memory blur. Its spare, haunting linework and meditative tone make it a quiet but essential work in the European bande dessinée tradition, exploring themes of isolation and the passage of time.
