Mauvaise herbe

In this taut, four-issue French comic series from Le Lézard Noir (2020–2021), Mauvaise herbe follows a troubled young woman grappling with the weight of inherited trauma and rural isolation. The story unfolds in a stark, atmospheric style, with writer and artist working in close synergy to evoke a sense of creeping dread and emotional decay. The series is notable for its spare, evocative linework and its unflinching look at cycles of violence and neglect, marking a distinctive voice in contemporary European independent comics.
