Période bleue

In 2023, French publisher Cornélius launched Période bleue, a singular comic whose single issue establishes a distinctive, contemplative mood. The series draws its name from Picasso’s Blue Period, suggesting a focus on melancholy, atmosphere, and visual storytelling over conventional plot. Already, it stands as a noteworthy example of European art-comics, demonstrating how a single, self-contained volume can resonate with the weight of a longer run.
