Medea

A darkly beautiful three-issue miniseries from Casterman, Medea (2009–2011) retells the Greek myth of the sorceress-princess with a painterly, European sensibility. The book is most associated with the lyrical, atmospheric art of its creators, who bring a modern psychological depth to the ancient tragedy of love, betrayal, and vengeance. Though brief, it stands as a striking example of how the bande dessinée tradition can reinvent classic stories with emotional and visual sophistication.
