Raspoutitsa

In 1989, Albin Michel launched Raspoutitsa, a single-issue comic that stands as a distinct, self-contained work from the publisher’s catalog. While its brief run leaves little room for a sweeping narrative, the title—a Russian term for the season of impassable roads—hints at themes of obstruction or historical upheaval. Its significance lies in its status as a unique, standalone artifact from a major French publisher, capturing a moment of creative ambition in late-80s European comics.
