Souterrain

The long-running French series Souterrain, launched by Futuropolis in 1988, explores the hidden, subterranean worlds beneath the surface—both literal and metaphorical. Though it began with a single issue, the title has endured as a touchstone of European graphic storytelling, celebrated for its atmospheric art and existential themes. The series is most associated with its creator, who crafts claustrophobic, haunting narratives that linger long after the final page. Its quiet influence lies in how it uses the underground as a canvas for psychological and social reflection.
