Mermaid Project - L'Intégrale

In Mermaid Project - L'Intégrale (2020–present, Dargaud), this single-volume collection gathers the complete sci-fi saga set in a near-future Paris where genetic engineering has created aquatic humanoids for corporate exploitation. The series, originally serialized in French, is most associated with writer Leo and artist Frédéric Contremoulin, who craft a noir-tinged thriller about marine biology, corporate intrigue, and the ethics of biotech. Its significance lies in offering a complete, self-contained story that blends ecological themes with a hard-boiled detective narrative, making it a distinctive entry in European graphic literature.
