Ubu

Published in 1997–1998 by Arktinen Banaani, Ubu is a single-issue Finnish comic that reimagines Alfred Jarry's absurdist play Ubu Roi in a stark, minimalist visual style. The series strips the story of its theatrical bombast, focusing on the grotesque, tyrannical Ubu as a symbol of political and moral decay. While the creators are not specified here, the work stands as a distinctive, niche experiment in adapting classic drama into the comics medium.
