Shangri-La

In Shangri-La, French creator Mathieu Bablet crafts a standalone, self-contained graphic novel for Ankama that envisions a dystopian future where humanity has retreated into a sealed, corporate-controlled arcology. Through stark, atmospheric art and a lean narrative, Bablet explores themes of environmental collapse, social stratification, and the cost of a manufactured paradise. This 2016 debut marks a striking, singular vision from a writer-artist known for his meticulous world-building and somber sci-fi sensibilities.
