Paris

In 2005–2006, Slave Labor Graphics published Paris, a four-issue miniseries that reimagines the City of Light as a labyrinth of secrets and survival. The story follows an American ex-pat and a French journalist who uncover a dangerous conspiracy lurking beneath the city’s glamorous surface. Written and illustrated by a single creator, this taut, atmospheric thriller captures the tension between beauty and decay in a post-9/11 world. Its concise, self-contained narrative makes it a standout example of early-2000s independent comics.
