Niger

Leila Marzocchi’s Niger (2006–2010, Fantagraphics) is a stark, three-issue series that follows a lone wanderer through a desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape. Marzocchi’s haunting, minimalist art and sparse storytelling create a meditative, almost wordless journey across a world stripped bare. A quiet, atmospheric work from the mid-2000s indie comics scene, Niger stands as a powerful example of visual narrative and the evocative potential of the medium.
