Passionate Journey

Passionate Journey is a single-issue comic from Dover Publications, first released in 1971. Created by the visionary Belgian artist Frans Masereel, this wordless novel uses a sequence of powerful woodcut illustrations to tell the story of a young man's journey through life, love, and the bustling city. As a landmark of the graphic novel's early evolution, it demonstrates the emotional and narrative depth possible without a single word, making it a foundational work for the medium.
