Tombelaine

In the early 2000s, Casterman published this five-issue series set on the eerie, tide-locked island of Tombelaine, a location steeped in history and myth. Written by Jean-David Morvan and illustrated by Christophe Blain, the story weaves a tense, atmospheric thriller around a small community cut off from the mainland. The series is notable for its stark, expressive art and its slow-burn exploration of isolation and paranoia, marking a distinctive entry in the French bande dessinée tradition.
