Morte-Saison

In the single, self-contained 1979 volume Morte-Saison, French artist Nicole Claveloux crafted a haunting, surrealist fairy tale for Les Humanoïdes Associés. A quiet masterpiece of European fantasy comics, it remains a singular, standalone vision—a lush, unsettling journey through a world where seasons and sanity blur. Claveloux’s lush, hallucinatory linework and atmospheric storytelling make this a cult touchstone, celebrated for its dreamlike intensity and its place in the rich tradition of Métal Hurlant-era graphic albums.
