About the series
In the tradition of classic French supernatural thrillers, Paris Maléfices (2013–2016, Delcourt) is a compact, three-issue series that plunges readers into a shadowy, occult-tinged version of the City of Light. The story follows a police detective whose investigation into a series of bizarre murders uncovers a hidden world of black magic and ancient curses lurking beneath Parisian streets. Crafted with atmospheric art and a taut, noir-tinged script, the series stands as a sharp, self-contained entry in Delcourt’s catalog of mature, genre-bending comics. It matters for its efficient, chilling blend of crime procedural and supernatural horror, proving that a short run can deliver a rich, unsettling narrative.
