Présence de la mort

In Présence de la mort (2025–present, Helvetiq), Swiss cartoonist Zep—best known for Titeuf—shifts into starkly different territory with a single, self-contained graphic novel. This philosophical meditation on mortality, rendered in a subdued, contemplative visual style, explores how the awareness of death shapes human experience. It stands as a mature, introspective work from a creator long associated with humor, demonstrating his range within the European comics tradition.
