Trait de craie

In Trait de craie, Spanish artist Miguelanxo Prado crafts a haunting, wordless graphic novel for Casterman that unfolds on a mysterious island where reality and dreamlike fantasy blur. Published in 1993 as a single, self-contained issue, this atmospheric tale uses Prado's luminous watercolors to explore themes of loneliness and desire. Its spare, evocative storytelling and painterly style have made it a celebrated work of European comics, showcasing the power of visual narrative without text.
