Qu'elle était bleue ma vallée

A single, self-contained graphic novel from Actes Sud, Qu'elle était bleue ma vallée is a standalone work by writer and artist François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters. Set in the fantastical universe of the Obscure Cities, it explores themes of ecology and memory through a story of a woman returning to her childhood home, a valley now submerged by a dam. This 2007 release is a poignant, visually stunning addition to the celebrated series, showcasing Schuiten's architectural detail and Peeters' philosophical storytelling.
