About the series
A short-lived but memorably eerie two-issue series from Dargaud, Petits contes noirs (2000–2001) collects unsettling, folkloric short stories in a comics format. The project is most associated with writer and artist Jean-Claude Götting, whose delicate, atmospheric linework gives these dark little tales a quiet, haunting power. It matters as a concentrated example of Götting’s signature blend of the whimsical and the macabre, offering a compact but potent dose of European comic art’s capacity for poetic horror.
