Pinocchia

From 1996, NBM published this single-issue comic by writer Francis Leroi and artist Jean-Pierre Gibrat, reimagining the classic wooden puppet as a grown woman in a dark, adult fairy tale. The story offers a provocative, mature twist on the familiar fable, with Gibrat's lush, detailed artwork bringing a hauntingly beautiful world to life. Though brief, the issue stands as a distinctive European graphic novel that explores identity and transformation through a surreal, literary lens.
