Purple Heart

Éric Warnauts and Raives, working in close collaboration, craft the moody, painterly world of Purple Heart, a series from the Belgian publisher Le Lombard that began in 2019. Across its four issues, the story unfolds with a deliberate, atmospheric touch, blending Warnauts' writing with the duo's evocative art. This is a quiet, character-driven work that exemplifies the European bande dessinée tradition of mature, visually rich storytelling.
