Sasmira

Laurent Vicomte’s Sasmira is a lushly illustrated, single-issue series from Splitter that began in 1998, with Vicomte handling both writing and art alongside co-writer Tanja Krämling. This self-contained comic matters as a showcase of Vicomte’s meticulous, atmospheric style, offering a complete story in one volume rather than a sprawling arc. It’s a quiet, visually driven entry in European comics, valued for its painterly detail and focused narrative.
