Rough

In the gritty, rain-slicked world of Rough (2004–2006, Glénat), this 12-issue series plunges into the raw underbelly of urban life, where crime and survival collide. Published by Glénat, the book is most associated with its creator’s stark, visceral storytelling and unflinching art, capturing a noirish atmosphere that feels both timeless and immediate. It matters as a compact, intense exploration of desperation and morality, a standout in early 2000s European crime comics.
