About the series
A brief but memorable two-issue series from Dupuis, Orval (2009–2010) is a Belgian comic that centers on the quiet, contemplative life of a man who inherits a dilapidated castle in the Ardennes, exploring themes of solitude and personal renewal. Its concise run, marked by a gentle, atmospheric tone, is most associated with the storytelling of its writer and artist, who bring a nuanced, European sensibility to the tale. Though short, the series stands as a distinctive, self-contained work that rewards readers with its understated charm and evocative setting.
