Paradise Intégrale

In this single-volume French graphic novel from Casterman, a lone astronaut wakes from cryosleep to find Earth abandoned and overgrown, with no memory of what happened. Written and drawn by Christophe Bec, Paradise Intégrale (2010) delivers a haunting, self-contained science-fiction mystery that distills the genre's sense of isolation into a compact, visually striking package. It matters as a concentrated example of Bec's atmospheric storytelling and world-building within a single issue.
