About the series
In Modou la tzigane, a quartet of albums from Casterman (1988–1991), writer Jean Dufaux and artist Christian Cailleaux craft a moody, atmospheric saga centered on the titular Romani woman and her tangled encounters across a shadowy, modern Europe. The series stands out for its European comics sensibility—lyrical, character-driven, and steeped in a sense of wandering and mystery. It matters as a showcase of Dufaux’s early, evocative storytelling paired with Cailleaux’s expressive, cinematic linework, offering a compact but resonant glimpse into the poetic thriller tradition of late-20th-century Franco-Belgian comics.
