Muraqqa'

Muraqqa', a 2011 single-issue comic from French publisher 12 Bis, is a distinctive work that blends Eastern and Western artistic traditions, drawing its title from the Persian and Urdu word for a bound collection of paintings or calligraphy. The series is most associated with the creative team of writer Jean-Pierre Pécau and artist Igor Kordey, who craft a visually rich narrative exploring themes of art, history, and cultural exchange. As a standalone piece, it stands out for its ambitious fusion of graphic storytelling with the aesthetics of Islamic miniature painting, offering a unique entry in the European comics landscape.
