Tchernobyl - La Zone

In the wake of the Chernobyl disaster, Tchernobyl - La Zone presents a stark, documentary-style exploration of the exclusion zone, published by Des ronds dans l'O from 2011 onward. This single-issue comic, associated with writer and artist François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters, uses precise, atmospheric art to examine the haunting, abandoned landscape and its lingering human and ecological impact. It matters as a sobering, visually immersive account of a real-world catastrophe, grounding its narrative in the physical and emotional aftermath of the event.
