Trompeuse apparence

In the single-issue series Trompeuse apparence (1984, Kesselring), a self-contained story unfolds in a single, dense installment. This French comic is a tightly crafted exploration of deceptive surfaces, with the creator Kesselring as the sole talent behind its writing and art. Though brief, it stands as a notable example of the era's European one-shot storytelling, where a complete narrative arc is delivered without the need for an ongoing run. Its concise format makes it a curious artifact for collectors of standalone graphic works from the mid-1980s.
