The Wrong Place

Brecht Evens’s The Wrong Place is a single, self-contained graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly, first published in 2010. The story follows a charismatic, manipulative man who draws two strangers into a night of unsettling games and psychological tension in a strange city. Evens’s lush, watercolor art—vibrant and deceptively playful—creates a disorienting atmosphere that makes this a standout example of contemporary European-influenced comics. It matters as a powerful, atmospheric debut that established Evens as a singular voice in graphic storytelling.
