About the series
In The Cruise of Lost Souls, a single, haunting issue from Humanoids (2001), a luxury ocean liner becomes a ghost ship adrift with passengers who have already died, trapped in an eternal voyage between worlds. This standalone graphic novel, written and illustrated by François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters, distills their signature blend of architectural wonder and existential dread into a claustrophobic, dreamlike thriller. A minor but potent entry in the duo's "Obscure Cities" universe, it matters as a concise meditation on mortality, memory, and the spaces we haunt.
