About the series
In this French sci-fi series from Dargaud, a genetically engineered woman with the DNA of a panther navigates a dystopian world where corporate power and environmental collapse have reshaped society. Across five issues published between 2008 and 2011, the narrative blends high-concept bio-punk with noir-tinged action, exploring themes of identity and freedom. The series is best known for the collaborative work of writer Jean-David Morvan and artist Bengal, whose sleek, kinetic art brings the protagonist's animalistic abilities to vivid life. A compact, visually striking entry in European genre comics, Naja stands out for its taut storytelling and imaginative world-building.
