Muraqqa

Muraqqa, launched in 2011 by the French publisher 12 Bis, is a single-issue comic that presents itself as a visual mosaic—its title referencing the Persian tradition of the "muraqqa" album, a collection of calligraphy and miniature paintings. The issue brings together a range of European comic artists to explore themes of art, memory, and cultural fusion through a series of interconnected short stories. While its brief run makes it a focused, standalone work, it stands out for its deliberate, gallery-like approach to sequential art, treating each page as a curated piece.
