The Nikopol Trilogy

Enki Bilal’s visionary sci-fi trilogy, collected here by DC beginning in 2004, follows a dystopian Paris where a mysterious Egyptian god-like spacecraft arrives, intertwining with the fate of a cryogenically frozen revolutionary. Written and painted by Bilal with English adaptation by Justin Kelly, the series is celebrated for its haunting, painterly art and politically charged, surreal narrative—a landmark of European graphic storytelling that bridges comics and fine art.
