About the series
In the tradition of fantastical French fables, Porcelaine (2014–2018, Delcourt) is a compact, three-issue series that blends delicate, ornate artwork with a hauntingly poetic narrative. The story follows a porcelain doll brought to life in a mysterious, decaying mansion, exploring themes of identity, creation, and the fragile boundary between humanity and artifice. Best known for the evocative work of writer and artist Éric Puybaret, the series stands out for its lush, storybook-style illustrations and its quiet, melancholic atmosphere. A gem of modern European fantasy comics, Porcelaine is a brief but resonant meditation on what it means to be real.
